AI Summary

Former world snooker champion Graeme Dott has been found guilty of sexually abusing two primary school-age children. The 49-year-old committed multiple acts of abuse against a girl and a boy, with incidents involving the girl occurring between 1993 and 1996 and the boy from 2006 to 2010.

A five-day trial at the High Court in Glasgow revealed harrowing details of Dott's actions. He was found guilty of two counts of lewd, indecent, and libidinous behavior. Key points from the trial include:

  • Victim Testimonies: One female victim, now in her 40s, recounted how Dott sexually abused her on several occasions, starting with inappropriate touching while giving her a piggyback ride.
  • Disturbing Incidents: She described an incident where Dott suggested a "guessing game" before exposing himself and touching her inappropriately.
  • Male Victim's Experience: The male victim, now in his late 20s, detailed multiple instances of abuse, including inappropriate touching and sexual acts while he was in the shower. He stated Dott would wash him and touch him inappropriately during these encounters.

Dott denied all allegations during the trial, claiming there was "absolutely no way" he abused the children and labeling the accusations as "lies." Prosecutor Lindsey Dalziel emphasized the severity of Dott's actions, stating that he exploited vulnerable children for his own gratification. The jury ultimately found Dott guilty based on the compelling evidence presented.
