WALTON COUNTY, Ga. — A Walton County couple will spend the rest of their lives in prison after they were convicted for adopting two young boys, then sexually abusing them.

Deputies arrested William and Zachary Zulock in 2022 at a home in unincorporated Loganville.

Last week, a judge sentenced them to 100 years in prison. Neither defendant is eligible for parole, according to the DA’s office.

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

As Channel 2 Action News previously reported, the Walton County Sheriff’s Office raided a home after they learned a man named Hunter Lawless was downloading child pornography.

After interviewing him, Lawless said he’d been collecting those materials and identified another suspect living in Oxford.

Lawless also told deputies that suspect he’d mentioned was making child pornography with a child living at their home, leading the sheriff’s office to get a search warrant for the Zulock household.

Following the investigation, Lawless pled guilty to sexual exploitation of children and agreed to cooperate in the prosecution of the Zulocks.

When deputies got arrest warrants for the men living at the house in Oxford, they identified the Zulocks a suspects and worked with the Georgia Division of Family and child Services to protect the children in the home.

Also culpable are those who allowed this adoption, and who allowed political correctness to be the defining criteria for adoption rather than the lives and welfare of the children.

It seems they were able to upgrade to a mansion by SA-ing their adopted children.

There was a case in Chapel Hill where a ‘couple’ abused their adopted AA kid/s. Can’t find anything about it online now but the entire community circled their wagons and refused to help with the investigation.

I wonder if the inmates at the prison are very aware of what this white privileged ‘couple’ did to AA children?

We had a friend who was a bailiff and he said that the general population ALWAYS knows when these types arrive and it’s no secrett

I recall some article - something along the lines of “Longest serving death-row inmate dies.” It was of old age or disease or something. He had done crimes against kids.

My main memory of it was “I guess there goes the adage that child molesters don't last long in prison.”

Although I suppose being on death row probably keeps one isolated from the others.

“I guess there goes the adage that child molesters don’t last long in prison.”

Maybe it’s always been a fantasy — never was a thing. Too bad.

I remember the AA kid abuse and actually thought this article referred to that case.

dont worry, a future Democrat president or Governor will pardon them!

I worked for 25 years in NJ prison as an Officer. The homo’s seemed to live somewhat comfortably relatively speaking. The other inmates never cared about what crimes they were locked up for. The two pillow-biters in this story won’t be harassed. In fact, they’ll more than likely be placed in involuntary protective custody.

They had better be watching their backs-and their backsides….

unless crazy Joe’s handlers pardon them. And 100 years in prison, on Earth is okay if it is followed with an eternity in Hell.

On Aug. 20, homo William Zulock entered a guilty plea for multiple charges, including aggravated sodomy, aggravated child molestation, incest and sexual exploitation of children he adopted.

On Oct. 21, homo Zachary Zulock pled guilty to charges of aggravated sodomy, aggravated child molestation, sodomy, sexual exploitation of children he adopted and pandering for a person under 18, but pled not guilty to two counts of incest. A judge later found him guilty of the incest charges following a brief bench trial, according to a release from the DA’s office.

Well, there is probably an list of entities that they shared this abuse with so..........

“Sometimes bad dudes get accidentally placed in those areas also. Mistakes happen.”

Those were not accidents. The guards have kids too. We all know if these guys got out they’d do it again. It’s wrong for the guards to do it but I’m going to let God be the judge for their sin.

The honest truth is that they deserve execution. If it takes an inmate dishing out justice because society is too weak, then so be it. Perverted, evil, pedophile homosexuality needs to be stamped out with prejudice.
