'A dangerous individual': Ex-snooker champ convicted of child sex abuse
Former world snooker champion Graeme Dott has been convicted of sexually abusing two primary school children in Scotland in the 1990s and early 2000s.
Former professional snooker player Graeme Dott has been found guilty of sexually abusing two children in the 1990s and early 2000s. A detective inspector from Police Scotland described Dott as a "dangerous individual" following his conviction. Dott, 49, was found guilty of abusing a girl between 1993 and 1996 and a boy between 2006 and 2010.
During a five-day trial at the High Court in Glasgow, the girl testified that Dott sexually abused her, while the boy alleged that Dott inappropriately touched him, kissed him, and performed sexual acts on him. Dott's membership with the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association has been revoked, and he was suspended by the sport's governing body in April 2025 after being charged with the crimes.
