A monstrous predator who sexually abused his two adopted sons with his partner messaged a friend to say “I’m going to f**k my son tonight. Stand by.”
Zachary Zulock and William Zulock regularly abused their children on camera. Zachary, 36, sent the pal the sick message alongside images of the son being abused, the Mirror reports.
The twisted messages emerged as the duo were sentenced to 100 years behind bars without possibility of parole this week. The Zulocks, from Georgia, US, pleaded guilty to multiple charges including aggravated sodomy, child molestation, incest and sexual exploitation of children.
The two men recorded their depraved acts to share with a paedophile ring. Prosecutors described their home as a “house of horrors”. The monsters adopted their sons from a Christian special-needs agency in 2018 when the boys were five and three years old. They presented themselves on social media as loving fathers, documenting their lives and flaunting their affluent lifestyle in suburban Atlanta.
Evidence showed the defendants bragged about the abuse to warped friends. The Zulocks allowed at least two other men, who were part of the depraved local paedophile ring, to abuse the boys.
The couple were arrested in 2022 after an alleged member of the ring was caught downloading child abuse images and told authorities of how the Zulocks were making sick content with boys living in their house, reports New York Times.
At their sentencing, District Attorney Randy McGinley described the couple’s crimes as “as dark as it gets”. He also praised the young boys – who are now in foster care – for helping to ensure their abusers will never walk free. Both men will each serve 100 years behind bars without the possibility of parole, followed by a lifetime of probation.
“These two defendants truly created a house of horrors and put their extremely dark desires above everything and everyone else,” McGinley said. “But their depravity was no match for the resolve of those fighting for justice.”
