Georgia Couple Who Sexually Abused 2 Boys They Adopted in ‘House of Horrors’ Get 100 Years in Prison

A Georgia couple was sentenced to 100 years in prison without parole after adopting two boys and sexually abusing them.

William and Zachary Zulock will each spend the rest of their lives behind bars, after pleading guilty to aggravated sodomy, aggravated child molestation, incest, and sexual exploitation of children. Each were sentenced on Dec. 19.

The couple was arrested in Walton County, Ga., in 2022 after a suspect in a child sexual abuse material investigation claimed that he had received explicit photos and videos from “Zach Zulock,” the Alcovy Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office said.

Based on the tip, police searched the couple’s home, where they discovered that the two men had adopted the two victims. Prosecutors say both admitted to abusing the boys over a period of time.

After seizing several devices from the home, police found seven terabytes of video, including multiple instances of the defendants abusing the victims, as well as cell phone photos and videos of the abuse.

“These two defendants truly created a house of horrors and put their extremely dark desires above everything and everyone else,” district Attorney Randy McGinley said in a statement. “However, the depth of the Defendants’ depravity, which is as deep as it gets, is not greater than the resolve of those that fought for justice and the strength of the victims in this case. The resolve I have seen from these two young victims over the last two years is truly inspiring.”
