Two Georgia men will spend the rest of their lives in prison for sexually abusing their two adopted sons.
Zachary and William Zulock have been given 100 years in prison with no chance of parole for their involvement in aggravated child abuse and exploitation. The sentencing took place on December 19 as confirmed by District Attorney Randy McGinley from the Alcovy Judicial Circuit, as per FOX 5 Atlanta.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) took action on a tip from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in July 2022. It was regarding possible child sexual abuse material being uploaded from an IP address in Walton County.
Investigators linked the materials to the Zulock residence and uncovered evidence of extensive abuse.
According to NBC News, investigators found out that one of the accused individuals was creating homemade child sexual abuse material involving at least one child residing in the same home as the perpetrator, as stated by the sheriff’s office.
After confirming the identities of the children and the defendants, detectives executed a search warrant at the Zullock’s home in Oxford.
DailyMail reports that the defendants were sodomizing young boys they adopted ”through a now defunct Christian agency.”
“These two defendants truly created a house of horrors and put their extremely dark desires above everything and everyone else,” McGinley said. “William and Zachary Zulock will now spend 100 years in prison without parole. This all but guarantees that the victims will not have to worry as they grow older about their abusers being free.”
In 2018, the couple adopted their two sons, even though Zachary Zuttock had been reportedly accused of raping a boy in 2011. The accusation was reported to police, but prosecutors declined to file charges.
Co-defendants in the case included Hunter Lawless, who admitted guilt to sexual exploitation of children, and Luis Vizcarro-Sanchez, who was found guilty of pandering and unrelated computer theft charges.
