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 sentenced last week to 100 years in prison without the possibility of parole, the Walton County District Attorney’s Office announced.
“The two defendants truly created a house of horrors and put their extremely dark desires above everything and everyone else,” said prosecutor Randy McGinley, according to WSB-TV.
The gay couple raised their two children under the guise of a happy home in an affluent Atlanta suburb.
But their supposedly perfect life – Zachary worked in banking and William was a government employee – hid a dark secret.
The couple regularly forced the boys to have sex with them and videotaped the abuse for pedophile pornography.
Evidence showed they even bragged about the abuse to friends, with one of them telling police that Zachary once sent a Snapchat message that read “I’m going to f— my son tonight. Stand by,” along with pictures of the boy being abused.
They allegedly used social media to give the boys to at least two men in a corrupt local pedophile ring.
The pair were arrested in 2022 after an alleged member of the ring was caught downloading child porn and told police how the Zullocks were making porn with young boys living in their home.
William and Zachary Zulock pleaded guilty to charges of child abuse, sodomy and sexual exploitation of children.
