Former snooker world champion Graeme Dott has been convicted of sexually abusing two children in a Scottish court. The charges included “lewd, indecent and libidinous behaviour” against a girl from 1993 to 1996 and a boy from 2006 to 2010. The indictment claimed that Dott, 49, sexually assaulted the girl, exposed himself, and prompted her to touch him, while also making sexual remarks to the boy and inappropriately touching him.

Despite denying the allegations, he was found guilty in a trial at the High Court in Glasgow, with sentencing scheduled for next month. Detective Inspector Gary Smillie from Police Scotland characterized Dott as a “dangerous individual,” expressing hope that the conviction would offer solace to the victims. Dott, who won the World Snooker Championship in 2006 and was a finalist in 2004 and 2010, had been suspended by the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association following the announcement of the charges last year.
