‘Picture perfect’ Georgia couple jailed for 100 years after r**ing adopted sons in ‘house of horrors’.giang

A Georgia couple who showed of their ‘picture perfect’ family have each been setenced to 100 years in prison for sexually abusing their adopted sons.

William and Zachary Zulock, 34 and 36, were jailed last week after they pleaded guilty to charges including sodomy, child molestation, and sexual exploitation of children. Prosecutors who worked on the disturbing case said the pair had turned their property into “a house of horrors”.

Police began investigating the couple from Georgia in July 2022 after receiving a “cyber tip” from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. This suggested that homemade child sexual abuse material had been uploaded to a Google account with an IP address in Walton County. Officers also met with a witness who admitted he had received the pictures and videos from “Zach Zulock”.

Police then raided the Walton County residence where both Zachary and William Zulock lived with two young boys who they had adopted a few years earlier. Both defendants were interviewed and quickly admitted to sexually abusing both the kids.

Electronic evidence was seized from the home, including internal surveillance cameras and seven terabytes of video. A thorough analysis of this found footage of the defendants committing sexual abuse in different parts of the property on mutiple occasions. Their cell phones were further analyzed and found to contain graphic images and videos of the abuse, as well as graphic text and social media messages.

Randy McGinley, district attorney of the Alcovy Judicial Circuit, said in a statement: “Those involved with the investigation and prosecution of this case will never forget what they had to see and hear… These two defendants truly created a house of horrors and put their extremely dark desires above everything and everyone else.”

William Zulock later pleaded guilty to six counts of aggravated sodomy, three counts of aggravated child molestation, two counts of incest and two counts of sexual exploitation of children. Zachary Zulock pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated sodomy, three counts of aggravated child molestation, two counts of sodomy, three counts of sexual exploitation of children, and two counts of pandering for a person under 18.

The information obtained from the cell phones also led to evidence of another man, Luis Vizcarro-Sanchez, receiving messages from Zachary Zulock about sexual abuse of one of the victims.

Vizcarro-Sanchez later pleaded guilty to pandering for a person under 18. At the same time, he pleaded guilty to numerous counts of computer theft in which he was stealing from his employer, the Loganville Kroger. He was sentenced to a total of 60 years, with the first 15 years in prison, along with a requirement that he testify in any proceeding or trial of the Zulocks.

District attorney McGinley added: “I am grateful for the hard work of so many to obtain an appropriate outcome in this case. The hard work of law enforcement put an end to the abuse suffered by the victims and this resolution will help the victims continue their process of healing. William and Zachary Zulock will now spend 100 years in prison without parole. This all but guarantees that the victims will not have to worry as they grow older about their abusers being free.

“It cannot be stressed enough how important it is for our society to have individuals willing to adopt children in need. But anyone who does so and then abuses those children deserves extremely harsh consequences and decades in prison. The sentence imposed not only appropriately punishes these Defendants for their repeated selfish actions but also sends the message to the public that such actions will never be taken lightly.”

“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.”
