Former snooker world champion Graeme Dott is on trial accused of historic child sex offences. Multiple outlets report that the 49-year-old appears in court and faces allegations involving two children described as being of primary school age. The charges are framed in terms such as lewd, indecent and libidinous behaviour.
According to reports, the allegations span multiple periods, with one outlet stating accusations dating from 1993 to 1996 and again from 2006 to 2010. Coverage also indicates the trial is being heard in Glasgow. Several outlets add that Dott denies the charges.
Across the sources, the main differences are in how the allegations are worded and the specific timeline details mentioned. However, all accounts agree that the matter involves historic allegations, that Dott is the defendant, that two charges are part of the case, and that the trial is underway.
