A gay couple in Georgia, USA, was convicted of sexually abusing their two adopted sons and sentenced to jail.
William and Zachary Zulock, 34 and 36, were sentenced to 100 years of prison each, with no chance of parole, the Walton County District Attorney’s office announced, according to a report in the New York Post.
Adopted from a Christian special-needs agency by the Zulocks, the two brothers, 10 and 12 years respectively, were raised under the guise of a happy home. Zachary worked in banking while William was a government employee.
However, while everything was picture-perfect when seen from the outside, behind closed doors, the story was completely different.
The couple regularly raped the boys and filmed it to circulate it among a local pedophilic porn ring.
Evidence suggested that they even bragged about it, with one snapchat message from Zachary saying, "I’m going to f**k my son tonight. Stand by,” along with images of the boy being abused.
Reports also suggest that they pimped the boys out on two occasions to members of the paedophile sex ring.
“These two Defendants truly created a house of horrors and put their extremely dark desires above everything and everyone else,” said District Attorney Randy McGinley, according to WSB-TV.
“However, the depth of the Defendants’ depravity, which is as deep as it gets, is not greater than the resolve of those that fought for justice and the strength of the victims in this case. The resolve I have seen from these two young victims over the last two years is truly inspiring,” he added.
The zulocks were arrested in 2022, when an alleged member of the ring was caught downloading child porn. Through questioning, the police learnt of the Zulocks and the children being abused.
Both Zulocks plead guilty to charges of aggravated child molestation, aggravated sodomy, sexual exploitation of children.
