US News: A gay couple in the United States was sentenced to 100 years of imprisonment without parole possibility by a US court after they raped two special needs sons they adopted. Under the pretense of raising a happy family, they allegedly sexually abused the children, recorded pedophilic pornography, and gave the children to their friends. The couple have been identified as William Zulock and Zackary Zulock.
"These two Defendants truly created a house of horrors and put their extremely dark desires above everything and everyone else," District Attorney Randy McGinley told WSB-TV.
"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," he added further.
The incident came to light in 2022, when Walton County deputies received reports about child sexual abuse content uploaded to a Google account. Hunter Lawless acknowledged obtaining the materials from Zachary Zulock during their meeting with him during the investigation.
After conducting an investigation into the matter, it was found that the couple-Zachary Zulock and William Dale Zulock were sexually assaulting their adopted sons, who are now 12 and 10 years old.
Lawless once said Zachary sent him several messages on Snapchat about him going to rape his son, according to the New Year Post. Tonight, I'm going to f— my son. He texted, "Stand by," and shared videos of him sexually abusing one of the children.
The couple, who were arrested in 2022, pleaded guilty to the accusations of child molestation, aggravated sodomy, and sexual exploitation of minors.
