KJ’s attorney filed a motion on Tuesday, September 8, to transfer the case to juvenile court and “for confidentiality proceedings,” according to court records viewed by Us.

If the petition is granted, KJ wouldn’t be prosecuted as an adult. He was indicted on September 3 for aggravated child molestation, aggravated sexual battery, aggravated sodomy, false imprisonment and three counts of sexual battery against a child under the age of 16. (KJ was arrested in August for aggravated sexual assault and aggravated sodomy but vehemently denied the accusations. He has not been arrested for the remaining charges in the indictment.)

Following his arrest, KJ was remanded to Atlanta’s Regional Youth Detention Center ahead of a bond hearing on Friday, September 11. He will be arraigned next month.

Kim Zolciak is comfortable enough calling the victim in this case a "woman" even though she is underage. Why shouldn't her son be tried as an adult then if this is how she views teenagers?

“The allegations being made against my son are nothing short of reckless and deeply troubling,” Zolciak told Us in a statement of her own in August. “He categorically denies ever being involved with this woman or engaging in the conduct she has alleged. My son voluntarily took a polygraph examination regarding these allegations and passed. Additionally, an examination was conducted, and no DNA belonging to my son was found.”
