Gay couple in Georgia convicted of raping adopted sons

A Georgia gay couple convicted of sexually abusing their two adopted sons will spend the rest of their lives behind bars.

William and Zachary Zulock, 34 and 36, were each sentenced last week to 100 years in prison without the possibility of parole, the Walton County District Attorney’s office announced.

“These two defendants truly created a house of horrors and put their extremely dark desires above everything and everyone else,” District Attorney Randy McGinley said. according to WSB-TV.

“However, the depth of the defendants’ depravity, which is as deep as it gets, is no greater than the determination of those who fought for justice and the strength of the victims in this case. The determination I have seen from these two young victims over the past two years is truly inspiring,” he added.

The boys — two brothers who are now 12 and 10 years old — were adopted from a Christian special needs agency by the Zulocks.

The couple raised them under the guise of a happy home in an affluent suburb of Atlanta.

But their supposedly idyllic life – Zachary worked in banking and William was a government employee – had a dark secret.

The couple regularly forced the boys to have sex with them and filmed the abuse to make pedophile pornography.

Evidence showed they even bragged about the abuse to twisted friends, with one telling police that Zachary once sent a Snapchat message that read: “I’m taking my son tonight. Stand by,” along with photos of the boy, being abused.

And they allegedly used social media to pimp the boys out to at least two men in a depraved local pedophile sex ring.

The couple were arrested in 2022 after an alleged member of the ring was caught downloading child pornography, and he told investigators how the Zulocks made porn with young boys who lived in their house.

Both Zulocks plead guilty to charges of aggravated child abuse, aggravated sodomy, sexual exploitation of children.
