ATLANTA, GEORGIA: If William and Zachary Zulock's case goes to trial, neither of them will be immune from testifying against the other in relation to the alleged molestation of their two adopted sons. The couple has been charged with sodomizing their young boys, who were adopted through a now-defunct Christian organization, and giving them to other local pedophiles

While they wait for their next court date in March, they are both facing life sentences and are being held apart in two different jails. Police records show they admitted to some of the charges, though they are yet to enter a plea. They will have to testify against one another, forfeiting any claim to immunity based on marital status or the possibility of self-incrimination, according to Judge Jeffrey L Foster's ruling, reports Daily Mail.

Zachary and William Zulock will be separated at trial 

In the latest hearing, attorney John Haldi, who was representing both men, withdrew his support for Zachary in response to the prosecution's request that the two men be separated at trial. Now that he needs new legal representation, Zachary is reportedly having trouble finding someone to pay for it, according to Townhall, which broke the story in August. Haldi told DailyMail on Thursday about a gag order that the judge has not yet decided whether to impose, but which would prohibit lawyers for both sides from speaking about the case. He claimed to have just "spoken" with William but did not provide any further information or state whether he wanted to enter a guilty or not guilty plea. DA McGinley stated that forcing the pair to testify against each other was in the public's interest.

Police reopens old rape inquiry against Zachary Zulock

Zachary was accused of raping another youngster in 2011, but the couple was still permitted to adopt their two sons in 2018. Police were notified of the allegation, but the prosecution never conducted a rigorous or sufficient inquiry to support the charges. In light of the fresh accusations, it has now been reopened. The two are also suspected of sharing videos of the abuse with other local pedophiles in addition to raping the boys.

The names of Hunter Clay Lawless, 27, and Luis Armando Vizcarro-Sanchez, 25, who were held in custody in August on suspicion of soliciting an act of prostitution with both boys, have just been made public, as per reports.
