A gay couple from Georgia, USA, accused of sexually abusing their two adopted sons and recording them on video, also allegedly sold them to members of a local pedophile ring, US media outlet Townhall has revealed.
Zachary Jacob Zullock, 35, and his partner, William Dale Zullock, 33, allegedly used social media to prostitute their two underage sons.
William, a public servant, and Zachary, a banker, were charged in August 2022 with incest, sodomy, aggravated child abuse, felony child sexual exploitation and felony prostitution of a minor.
But the shocking investigation reveals in more detail the sickening abuse the boys suffered.
For the first time, it has been revealed that the men allegedly sold their eldest sons, now aged 11 and 9, to two other men in a pedophile ring.
One of the men, 27-year-old Kander Clay Lawless, revealed to authorities that Zachary – who describes himself in Instagram as a “father of two wonderful boys” and an “activist” – invited him “many times” to take part in sexually abusing his underage children, the Townhall.
However, the 27-year-old claimed he never had physical contact with either of the two children.
The Zulocks – who lived in Oxford, an affluent suburb of Atlanta – adopted the children from a Christian special needs adoption agency. The boys were in third and fourth grade when their stepfathers were arrested last summer.
Officers responding to complaints that a man was downloading child pornography raided the Loganville home, where they found evidence that the couple “engaged in sexually abusive acts and video documenting that abuse,” police said at the time.
William admitted to forcing one of his sons to perform oral sex on him “for the purpose of satisfying his own … sexual desire,” according to an affidavit cited by the Daily Wire.
His husband admitted to sending child sexual abuse material to several people, according to the news agency.
The couple was active in the local LGBTQ community.
William and Zachary, who have pleaded not guilty, each face more than nine times life in prison if convicted.
