A COUPLE once celebrated as trailblazers in the gay community will spend the rest of their lives behind bars after being convicted of the heinous sexual abuse of their two adopted sons. William Zulock, 34, and Zachary Zulock, 36, were each sentenced last week to 100 years in prison without the possibility of parole.

The couple had pled guilty to multiple charges, including aggravated sodomy, child molestation, incest, and sexual exploitation of children. The men, who presented themselves as loving fathers on social media, were revealed to have subjected their children to years of abuse while recording the crimes to share with others in a depraved pedophile ring.

Their actions, described as a "house of horrors" by prosecutors, shocked the nation and sent ripples of outrage through the LGBTQ+ community and beyond. The Zulocks, from Georgia, adopted their sons in 2018, boys who were then five and three years old, from a Christian special-needs agency.

They presented an image of an idyllic family life on social media, showcasing their affluent lifestyle in a suburban Atlanta neighbourhood. Behind the façade, however, investigators uncovered years of unimaginable abuse. The couple would allegedly force the boys to have sex with them and film the abuse to make paedophilic pornography, the New York Post reports.
