A gay U.S. couple will spend the rest of their lives behind bars after being sentenced for raping their two adopted sons.

Husbands William, 34, and Zachary Zulock, 36, pleaded guilty to a host of charges involving the biological brothers, now aged 10 and 12, and were issued a 100-year sentence with no eligibility for parole until that time has expired.

“These two Defendants truly created a house of horrors and put their extremely dark desires above everything and everyone else,” Walton County, Ga., District Attorney Randy McGinley said in a statement that offered details into the shocking case that began in 2022.

Police used the IP address from the Google account upload to locate the physical address where the occupant, Hunter Lawless, admitted he’d downloaded child pornography photos and video and identified the sender as Zachary Zulock.
