Former world snooker champion Graeme Dott convicted of sexually abusing 2 small
children
LONDON (AP) --- Former world snooker champion Graeme Dott was convicted Monday
of sexually abusing two primary school children in Scotland in the 1990s and
early 2000s.
Dott, 49, was found guilty of abusing a girl from 1993-96 and a boy from
2006-10 after a five-day trial at the High Court in Glasgow. The judge ordered
that Dott be held in custody ahead of his sentencing on Sept. 29.
The woman, now in her 40s, testified that Dott sexually abused her on multiple
occasions, "caressing" her bottom over her clothing, exposing himself and
touching her with parts of his body including his penis.
The man, now in his late 20s, said he was abused on multiple occasions, with
Dott touching him inappropriately, kissing him and performing sexual acts.
Snooker's governing body suspended Dott in April 2025 after he was charged in
the case. He was ranked No. 56 in the world at the time.
Dott won the world snooker championship in 2006.
