TWO gay dads will spend the rest of their lives jailed after their sick rape ring and horrific sexual abuse of their adopted sons were unveiled.
William Zulock, 34, and Zachary Zulock, 36, were each sentenced to 100 years in prison without parole after pleading guilty to a slew of crimes.

Prosecutors revealed the couple's crimes extended beyond their own home, with the pair recording the abuse of their two boys – aged 10 and 12 – and distributing it to other paedophiles.
Messages uncovered during the investigation showed the men discussing the abuse in chilling detail, even offering their kids to others in a depraved child exploitation network.
"These two defendants truly created a house of horrors and put their extremely dark desires above everything and everyone else," Alcovy Judicial Circuit District Attorney Randy McGinley said at the sentencing.
"However, the resolve of those fighting for justice and the strength of the victims is truly inspiring."
The Zulocks adopted their two sons, then just three and five years old, in 2018 through a now-defunct Christian adoption agency.
On social media, they presented an image of a picture-perfect family, sharing glimpses of their life in a $900,000 home in suburban Atlanta, Georgia.
But behind closed doors, authorities said the couple subjected their sons to years of abuse, forcing the boys to perform sexual acts that they filmed and shared.
Evidence later revealed that the couple began abusing the boys shortly after the adoption.
The case came to light in July 2022 when the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
A Walton County IP address was flagged for uploading child sexual abuse material (CSAM), which was traced back to the Zulocks' home.
When police raided the house, they discovered over seven terabytes of evidence, including surveillance footage showing the couple abusing their children.
The footage, along with text messages and graphic images, painted a harrowing picture of the crimes.
One particularly disturbing exchange between Zachary Zulock and an associate on Snapchat detailed his plans to abuse one of the boys.
One co-defendant, Hunter Lawless, told police that Zachary once sent him a message allegedly saying: "I'm going to f*** my son tonight. Stand by."
He also admitted to receiving CSAM from Zachary and told police the couple offered their sons to him "multiple times."
Lawless was detained after downloading a substantial amount of child pornography, which authorities tracked down to his Gmail address.
He acknowledged to receiving child sex abuse material from Zachary and was later sentenced to 20 years in prison, with the first 12 to be served behind bars.
Another associate, Luis Vizcarro-Sanchez, also admitted to receiving incriminating messages from Zachary.
He pleaded guilty to pandering to a person under 18.
Vizcarro-Sanchez received a 60-year sentence after pleading guilty to an unrelated offence of stealing computers from his job, the first 15 of which will be served in prison.
They attempted to adopt a two-year-old girl in 2011, but their application was denied just a year before their arrest[/caption]Both William and Zachary Zulock pleaded guilty to their charges in separate hearings earlier this year.
During Zachary's trial, Judge Jeffrey L. Foster found him guilty of two additional counts of incest, leading to the maximum sentence of 100 years without parole.
At their sentencing, prosecutors highlighted the bravery of the victims, who provided testimony that helped ensure their abusers would never walk free again.
"These boys endured unimaginable suffering, but their courage has been a beacon of hope for others," McGinley said.
The case has also prompted scrutiny over adoption processes after it was revealed that Zachary Zulock had been accused of raping another boy in 2011.
Despite the allegation, which was never thoroughly investigated, the couple was allowed to adopt their sons through All God's Children, a Georgia-based agency that has since shut down.
In 2021, the couple attempted to adopt a two-year-old girl, but their application was denied just a year before their arrest.
Now in foster care, the two boys – aged 12 and 10 – are receiving support to help them heal from the trauma they endured.
Authorities have vowed to continue working to bring anyone involved in the exploitation network to justice.
