Former Snooker World Champion Graeme Dott Convicted in Child Sex Abuse Case

3

Former snooker world champion Graeme Dott has been found guilty by a Scottish court of sexually abusing two children in separate incidents spanning the 1990s and 2000s.

The 49-year-old was prosecuted on two counts of “lewd, indecent and libidinous behaviour.” One charge related to a girl between 1993 and 1996, while the other concerned a boy between 2006 and 2010.

The prosecution alleged that Dott sexually assaulted the girl, exposed himself and encouraged her to touch him. He was also accused of making sexual comments to the boy and touching his genitals.

Dott denied the allegations but was convicted following a trial at the High Court in Glasgow. The former world champion is expected to be sentenced next month.
