Dominique Pelicot , 72 , jailed for 20 years for drugging and raping Gisèle and inviting dozens of strangers to also abuse her over nearly a decade .

Dominique was found guilty of all charges by a judge in Avignon , France , on Thursday .

Although the trial is over, there are still questions lingering over what happens next.

Dominique Pelicot has admitted to assaulting and attempting to rape a 23-year-old estate agent, known by the pseudonym Marion , in 1999 .

He has denied any responsibility in another cold case the 1991 rape and murder of Sophie Narme , for which there is no DNA.

Investigators have argued that the two cases present too many similarities to be coincidental.

Some have argued schools have a responsibility to better teach new generations about sex and consent.
