Kim Zolciak\u2019s 15-year-old son Kroy \u201cKJ\u201d Biermann Jr. scheduled court hearing was canceled Tuesday after he was indicted on seven felony charges in his sexual assault case.<\/p>\n

KJ\u2019s attorney, Jason Sheffield, confirmed that the hearing had been canceled and exclusively told Page Six that the state\u2019s indictment filed on Sept. 3 has now become the \u201ccontrolling action\u201d in the case and the judge who was set to oversee Tuesday\u2019s preliminary hearing will be changed.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause the State indicted my client, the judge who would have presided over the preliminary hearing today has been divested of that authority,\u201d Sheffield said. \u201cWe will have several court dates coming up, including a motion to transfer the case to juvenile court, a bond hearing, and an arraignment on the current indictment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, we will have to wait for our day in court where we can finally begin to level the playing field,\u201d Sheffield added.<\/p>\n

Sheffield also said that following last week\u2019s indictment the state had made clear that it intends to try KJ as an adult, which was the matter to be litigated at today\u2019s hearing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are expecting to enter not guilty pleas to all charges at the plea and arraignment hearing on October 14,\u201d Sheffield said outside court.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to file motion for the case to be transferred to juvenile court and for him to be tried as a juvenile.\u201d<\/p>\n

KJ has been held at Atlanta\u2019s Metro Regional Youth Detention Center since his Aug. 17 arrest and was scheduled to appear in court Tuesday.<\/p>\n

A bond hearing has now been scheduled for Sept. 11 following KJ\u2019s Sept. 3 indictment, according to Fulton County court records.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is difficult to comprehend that a 14- or 15-year-old child can be held in detention for a month or longer simply waiting for a bond hearing,\u201d Sheffield told Page Six in a statement. \u201cBut that detention is a direct consequence of the detective\u2019s decision to arrest him on charges of this magnitude.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce those charges were selected, the law governing bond left little room for his age or juvenile status to meaningfully change what happened next. In that sense, the severity of the charges does not merely define the accusation \u2013 it effectively strips away many of the protections we ordinarily associate with treating a child differently from an adult,\u201d Sheffield added.<\/p>\n

The teen was indicted by a Georgia grand jury last week on seven felony charges: aggravated child molestation, aggravated sodomy, aggravated sexual battery, three counts of sexual battery against a child under 16 and false imprisonment.<\/p>\n

The charges stem from an alleged April 23 encounter with a female classmate at a Life Time fitness center in Alpharetta, Georgia.<\/p>\n

The girl accused KJ of forcing sexual acts on her inside the gym\u2019s family changing room despite her repeatedly telling him \u201cno,\u201d according to court documents previously obtained by Page Six.<\/p>\n

Sheffield previously claimed in a statement to Page Six that his client is \u201c100% innocent\u201d and that he \u201ctried to present evidence to the arresting officer, including a passed polygraph by a notable and respected sex offender polygrapher,\u201d and claimed he has \u201cevidence of other prior false allegations by the alleged victim.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAdditionally, the officer\u2019s report notes [that investigators] found no male DNA on or inside the areas the alleged victim claimed she was assaulted. The fact that he\u2019s been arrested and is being held without bond is a tragedy,\u201d Sheffield continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is not only presumed innocent, but is, in fact, innocent. I\u2019m asking the public not to presume the truth of these allegations and to give the families on both sides their space and privacy,\u201d his statement concluded.<\/p>\n

Sheffield previously asked the court to release the teenager from custody, citing his strong academic record, football achievements, scholarship offers and ties to his family and the community.<\/p>\n

The Bravolebrity has fiercely defended her son since his arrest, previously calling the allegations \u201creckless and deeply troubling\u201d and saying she remains \u201cconfident that the facts and evidence will establish the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

The reality star has also reportedly visited KJ multiple times while he has been behind bars, including a visit with her eldest daughter, Brielle, according to TMZ.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, sexual assault case expert and former prosecutor Lindsay Richards, who is not involved in KJ\u2019s case, but exclusively told Page Six that she believes prosecutors may attempt to have the 15-year-old tried as an adult.<\/p>\n

Richards called the charges against KJ \u201cunbelievably serious\u201d and said they could result in decades behind bars if he is convicted.<\/p>\n

Zolciak and Kroy welcomed four children together prior to their contentious divorce: \u201cKJ\u201d Jagger Jr., Kash Kade, 14, and twins Kaia Rose and Kane Ren, 12. Zolciak is the mother of adult daughters Brielle and Ariana from previous relationships. The retired football player adopted them in July 2013.<\/p>\n
