Kim Zolciak’s 15-year-old son, KJ Biermann, is begging to be released from jail, citing good character, strong academics, football achievements and scholarship offers.
Biermann’s attorney, Jason B. Sheffield, filed documents in the Superior Court of Fulton County on Wednesday requesting a bond hearing for his client, who has been locked up at Atlanta’s Metro Regional Youth Detention Center since his Aug. 17 arrest for felony aggravated sodomy and felony aggravated sexual battery.
“The accused turned 15 years old in May. He is a high school student in good standing who has demonstrated strong academic achievement and regularly participates in extracurricular and community-based activities,” Sheffield argued in the filing obtained Thursday by Page Six.
“He is an accomplished football player who has received scholarship offers based upon his athletic ability.”
