Former world snooker champion Graeme Dott convicted of child sexual abuse
Ex-world snooker champion Graeme Dott was found guilty of child sexual abuse, with sentencing postponed to a later date.
Graeme Dott, 49, who won the world snooker title in 2006, was convicted of indecent conduct toward a girl and a boy between 1993 and 2010. He had denied the accusations throughout the trial. A High Court judge in Glasgow delayed the sentencing, setting a new hearing for 29 September in Edinburgh. The case remains under further legal review.
