A Walton County court in the United States has sentenced William Zulock, 34, and Zachary Zulock, 36, to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the systematic sexual abuse of their two adopted sons, aged 12 and 10. Last week, the court handed down sentences of 100 years each after the gay couple pleaded guilty in August to a litany of charges.

The court convicted the men on counts including aggravated sodomy, incest, child molestation, and the production of child sexual abuse material (CSAM).

McGinley commended the bravery of the victims, who were in third and fourth grade at the time of the abuse. “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,” McGinley said in a statement. “The resolve I have seen from these two young victims over the last two years is truly inspiring.”

The abuse came to light in July 2022 after a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children led authorities to investigate a Google account linked to the uploading of CSAM. The IP address traced back to the Zulocks’ home in Walton County. Investigators found graphic evidence, including surveillance footage and cell phone material, that confirmed years of abuse within the household.
