Gay Couple Sentenced to 100 Years in Prison for Abusing Their Two Adopted Sons

Gay couple William Zulock and Zachary Zulock have been sentenced to 100 years in prison without the possibility of parole for committing sexual offenses against their adopted sons.  

William Zulock pleaded guilty to six counts of aggravated sodomy, three counts of aggravated child molestation, two counts of incest, and two counts of sexual exploitation of children.  

Zachary Zulock, his husband, pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated sodomy, three counts of aggravated child molestation, two counts of incest, two counts of sodomy, three counts of sexual exploitation of children, and two counts of pandering to a minor under 18.  

Walton County District Attorney Randy McGinley spoke about the case to WSB-TV, stating, Those involved with the investigation and prosecution of this case will never forget what they had to see and hear in this case,”

“These two Defendants truly created a house of horrors and put their extremely dark desires above everything and everyone else. However, the depth of the Defendants’ depravity, which is as deep as it gets, is not greater than the resolve of those [who]  fought for justice and the strength of the victims in this case.”

The investigation into the Zulocks began when the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children alerted Georgia authorities about suspected child sexual abuse material (CSAM) uploaded to a Google account. This material appeared to have been created at a home in Walton County.

Further investigation revealed that the Zulocks resided with the children who were being abused in the images.

During an interview with authorities on July 22, 2022, both Mr. and Mrs. Zulock confessed to sexually abusing their adopted sons over a period of time.

Investigators gathered evidence from surveillance cameras within the Zulocks’ home, which captured numerous instances of the couple sexually abusing their children in various parts of the house.

Furthermore, authorities seized electronic devices such as cell phones containing graphic images, videos, and sexually explicit messages exchanged through text and social media.
