The couple was first arrested in 2022.
The two adopted boys both have “special needs,” but the details of their special needs have not been disclosed to the press.
Just last week, William and Zachary Zulock, ages 34 and 36, were sentenced to 100 years in prison without parole, according to the Walton County District Attorney's Office.
“These two defendants created a veritable house of terror and put their own very dark desires above all else,” District Attorney Randy McGinley said, according to WSB-TV. “But the depth of the depravity of these defendants, as profound as it is, is never greater than the determination of those who fought for justice and the strength of the victims in this case. “I have seen the determination of these young victims and it is truly inspiring,” he continued.
The Zulocks adopted the boys, now 10 and 12 years old, from a Christian special needs organization. Officials contacted by the media claimed that the law prohibits charities from refusing adoption requests from gay couples. However, this claim has not been confirmed.
The couple raised their four children under the “pretense” of a somewhat “normal” family life in an affluent suburb of Atlanta, and photographed them wearing matching gay pride and pro-LGBTQ shirts. She frequently posted online, drawing praise from her progressive social media friends. .
William was employed by the government and Zachary worked in a bank, but their lives held a sinister and disturbing secret. The two boys were “routinely forced” into sexual situations and acts by the couple, and scenes of child sexual abuse and rape were recorded to be captured on video and photographed for purchase by gay pedophiles. was recording.
According to evidence presented by police, authorities noted that Zachary once sent a disturbing message on Snapchat that read, “I'm going to fuck my son tonight…wait.” The men also bragged about the assault to their equally crazy friends. In addition to evil messages, they often attached images of boys being abused.
To make matters worse, the pair also “prostituted the boys” to at least two other men in a “local pedophile sex ring,” authorities added. After being arrested for allegedly downloading child sexual abuse material online, a purported member of the “Ring” told police that the “Zurok family” had “produced pornography for boys living in their home.” “I was,” he admitted.
The Zulocks entered guilty pleas to charges including child sexual exploitation, aggravated sodomy and aggravated child sexual abuse.
Childhood sexual abuse can change a child's perception of the environment, the people in it, and their place in it. They can experience severe distortions in their perceptions of the world and themselves, which can lead to specific disorders, mental illnesses, and general feelings of betrayal, anxiety, mistrust, depression, and suicidal tendencies. It may be possible to connect. The ability to connect with others and with oneself can be affected by trauma, depending on the relationship and the length of the sexual assault. Many sex offenders employ manipulative grooming tactics to gain access to their victims, which can lead to long-term psychological distortions, self-identity issues, relationship problems, and isolation. It can last a child's entire life and even into adulthood. .
