A gay Georgia couple who previously went viral for a photo showcasing their two adopted sons was sentenced to 100 years in prison for sexually abusing their children.
William and Zachary Zulock, 34 and 36, previously plead guilty to charges of aggravated child molestation, aggravated sodomy and sexual exploitation of children before being sentenced to 100 years in prison without parole in Walton County Superior Court recently.
“These two Defendants truly created a house of horrors and put their extremely dark desires above everything and everyone else,” said Walton County District Attorney Randy McGinley via 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 two children, who are biological brothers ages 12 and 10, were adopted from a Christian special-needs agency. The Zulocks had previously gone viral after sharing a photo of themselves and their sons wearing pro-LGBTQ+ shirts, apparently under the guise of being a happy family in an affluent Atlanta suburban home.
The couple, however, regularly forced the boys to have sex with them and recorded the abuse for pedophilic pornography, with evidence showing them bragging about the incidents. A Snapchat message sent by Zachary included the caption "I'm going to f**k my son tonight," which was followed by images of one of the children being abused.
The couple also allegedly used social media to pimp their children to at least two men as part of a local pedophile sex ring prior to their arrest in 2022 after an alleged member of the ring was caught downloading child pornography and told investigators about the Zulocks' activity.
