on Libération that Cazaux "wanted to work on himself, and showed empathy to his victims [...] [He] believed he could drown his vices in his social life; he did not succeed." According to experts, he was not mentally-ill and was fully responsible for his actions. According to Dr. Jean-Pierre Bouchard, the expert psychologist who examined him, only ten months after his release, Roland's dangerous fantasies became active again. On December 16, 2005, the Assizes Court of Gironde found Cazaux guilty of 34 rapes and sentenced him to 14 years imprisonment, with a 15-year probation period. He was forbidden to make any contact with his victims, and was ordered to stay in the regions of Gironde, Landes and Pyrénées-Atlantique for 10 years. He was paroled on February 20, 2012. According to "L'Heure du Crime", on May 13, 2015, his lawyer indicated that he currently lives according to the demands of the court, and regularly has psychiatric check-ups.
