TWO gay fathers will spend the rest of their lives in prison after their sick raping and horrific sexual abuse of their adopted sons was revealed.
William Zulock, 34, and Zachary Zulock, 36, were each sentenced to 100 years in prison without parole after pleading guilty to a series of crimes.

These include aggravated sodomy, child abuse, incest and child sexual exploitation.
Prosecutors found that the couple’s crimes extended beyond their own home, with the couple filming the abuse of their two boys – aged 10 and 12 – and distributing it to other pedophiles.
Messages uncovered during the investigation showed the men discussed the abuse in gruesome detail, even offering their children to others in a vicious child exploitation network.
“These two defendants truly created a house of horrors and put their ultimate dark desires above everything and everyone else,” Alcovy Judicial District Attorney Randy McGinley said at the sentencing.
“However, the determination of those fighting for justice and the strength of victims is truly inspiring.”
In 2018, the Zulocks adopted their two sons, who were only three and five years old at the time, through a now defunct Christian adoption agency.
They presented the picture of the perfect family on social media, sharing moments from their lives in a $900,000 home in suburban Atlanta, Georgia.
But behind closed doors, authorities said the couple subjected their sons to years of abuse, forcing the boys into sexual acts that they filmed and shared.
Evidence later revealed that the couple began abusing the boys shortly after their adoption.
The case came to light in July 2022 when the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

A Walton County IP was flagged for uploading Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), which was traced to the Zulock home.
When police raided the home, they discovered more than seven terabytes of evidence, including surveillance footage showing the couple abusing their children.
The video, along with text messages and graphic images, painted a shocking picture of the crime.
One particularly disturbing conversation between Zachary Zulock and a co-worker on Snapchat detailed his plans to abuse one of the boys.
One co-defendant, Hunter Lawless, told police that Zachary once sent him a text that allegedly read, “I’m going to fuck my son tonight. Wait.”
He also admitted to getting CSAM from Zachary and told police the couple offered their sons to him “multiple times.”
Lawless was detained after he downloaded a significant amount of child pornography, which authorities found on his Gmail address.
He admitted to receiving child sexual abuse material from Zachary and was later sentenced to 20 years in prison, with the first 12 to be served behind bars.
Another associate, Luis Vizcarro-Sanchez, also admitted receiving incriminating messages from Zachary.
He pleaded guilty to pimping a person under the age of 18.
Vizcarro-Sanchez received a 60-year sentence after pleading guilty to an unrelated felony count of stealing a computer from work, with the first 15 to be served in prison.

Both William and Zachary Zulock pleaded guilty to their charges in separate hearings earlier this year.
During Zachary’s trial, Judge Jeffrey L. Foster found him guilty of two additional counts of incest, which carries a maximum sentence of 100 years without parole.
At the sentencing, prosecutors highlighted the bravery of the victims, who gave testimony that helped ensure their abusers would never go free again.
“These boys endured unimaginable suffering, but their courage was a beacon of hope for others,” McGinley said.
The case also prompted scrutiny of the adoption process after it was revealed that Zachary Zulock was accused of raping another boy in 2011.
Despite the allegation, which was never thoroughly investigated, the couple was allowed to adopt their sons through All God’s Children, a Georgia-based agency that has since closed.
In 2021, the couple tried to adopt a two-year-old girl, but their request was rejected just a year before their arrest.
Now in foster care, the two boys – aged 12 and 10 – are receiving support to help them heal from the trauma they have suffered.
Authorities have vowed to continue working to bring to justice all those involved in the exploitation network.
