A teenager, the son of a former professional American football (NFL) player, was arrested and sent to trial on charges of sexually assaulting a female classmate.
The UK's The Sun reported on the 4th (Korean time) that Croi 'KJ' Beerman Jr. (15), the son of former NFL player Croi Beerman and Kim Zolciak, a cast member of the reality show 'Real Housewives of Atlanta', has been indicted on charges including sexual assault.
A Georgia grand jury indicted Beerman Jr. this week on charges of aggravated child molestation, aggravated sexual battery, aggravated sodomy, and unlawful confinement. According to People magazine, three additional counts of sexual assault against children under 16 were also applied. The Alpharetta Police Department in Georgia charged him as an adult criminal rather than a juvenile.
Beerman Jr. is accused of dragging a 15-year-old female student into the locker room of 'Life Time Fitness' gym on April 23, restraining her body, and forcing sexual intercourse. The victim visited Atlanta Children's Hospital immediately after the incident for an examination and had evidence of sexual assault collected.
Police arrested Beerman Jr. in Alpharetta, Georgia, on August 17. Currently detained, he is scheduled to appear in court on the 9th.
Beerman Jr.'s side has denied all allegations. Mother Kim Zolciak issued a statement to US Weekly, calling the accusation "reckless and regrettable." She countered by saying, "My son voluntarily took a lie detector test and passed," and added, "No DNA from my son was found on the woman making the accusation." She further criticized that false accusations have fatal consequences for actual victims of sexual crimes.
Meanwhile, Beerman Jr.'s father, Croi Beerman, played as a player for the Atlanta Falcons. Kim Zolciak gained fame by appearing on a reality show from 2008 to 2012. The couple has six children, including Beerman Jr., and filed for divorce in August 2023 after ending their 12-year marriage.
