The trial of former world snooker champion Graeme Dott, 49, began today in Glasgow, with the player accused of historical child sex offenses. Dott faces two charges: lewd, indecent, and libidinous behavior towards a girl between 1993 and 1996, and towards a boy between 2006 and 2010. Both incidents are alleged to have occurred in the Glasgow region.
Dott has pleaded not guilty to both charges. His trial commenced at the High Court in Glasgow before judge Lord Harrower and is anticipated to last four to five days. Dott was present in court, dressed in a dark suit.
Graeme Dott won the World Snooker Championship in 2006 and was a runner-up in 2004 and 2010. He was photographed arriving at the High Court in Glasgow for the proceedings.
