A gay Georgia couple convicted of sickening sexually abuse of their two adopted sons will spend the rest of the lives behind bars.

William and Zachary Zulock, 34 and 36, were each sentenced last week to 100 years in prison without the possibility of parole, the Walton County District Attorney’s office announced.

“These two Defendants truly created a house of horrors and put their extremely dark desires above everything and everyone else,” said District Attorney Randy McGinley, according to 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.

The boys — two brothers who are now 12 and 10 years-old — were adopted from a Christian special-needs agency by the Zulocks.

The couple raised them under the guise of a happy home in an affluent Atlanta suburb.

But their supposedly picture-perfect life — Zachary worked in banking and William was a government employee — held a dark secret.

The couple were regularly forcing the boys to have sex with them, and would film the abuse to make pedophilic pornography.

    Could not reply to your reply so posted a new comment:

    Send me a headline that says “Heterosexual person” when an heterosexual person commits pedofelia

      That’s funny you could not reply to it - I do not think I did anything to cause that, fyi.

      … It is relevant that they are a gay couple because it immediately indicates the circumstances of the crimes they committed, and their status as a gay couple was very relevant to their public life.

      It’s also potentially relevant because, y’know, what if these gay couples molest kids at elevated rates…?

        Pretty sure they don’t. No source, but I’m pretty sure that homosexual couples don’t engage in pedophilia at rates higher than gen pop.

        IIRC, pedophiles generally have a preferred victim gender, but some will go against that preference given opportunity. Also, IIRC, the majority of pedophilic acts are perpetrated by male family members of female victims.

          Right - there is a desire to turn ped into its own orientation because there is a gross over-representation of gay men in this category. Of course, they are not the majority, but their offender rate is wildly disproportionate to their proportion of the general public.

          It is unsurprising to many when two gay men who adopt sons end up abusing them.

          THis exact same thing happened in Australia with a gay couple that was celebrated - the very famous case of Mark Newton & Peter Truong. There were some old internet clips showing some exposes in Australian newspapers lauding them as a progressive couple back in the 2000s.

          We can also point out that there seems to be major issues with grooming in the gay community - one of the more interesting examples is that of George Takei and Milo Yiannopoulos who, in the same summer, both told about their first experiences. Both of them had it as young teenagers with far older male figures, and Milo made the mistake of dismissing its relevance (if I remember right), while George Takei went on to say he was disappointed because he later say that the man who touched him when he was in his early teens went on to become overweight and frumpy (lol).

    Interesting that’s the title doesn’t read “Pedophilic Couple Sentenced…” I guess the sexual orientation was an important fact. Maybe the Post is admitting that the default orientation for pedophiles is heterosexual?

    Edit: auto correct inserted the word Georgia

      Well, their specific marriage is a gay marriage, so they are a gay couple, right? I think that is the lgoic.

      BTW I enjoyed the film the Outlaw Josey Wales.
