Former world snooker champion Graeme Dott to face child sex abuse trial
Dott denies two child sex abuse charges dating from 1993 to 2010 involving primary school children, with trial scheduled for August 17, 2025.
- On Friday at the High Court in Edinburgh, a bail condition preventing former world snooker champion Graeme Dott from visiting his matrimonial home was removed, and the bail order will be amended.
- Allegations span two separate periods, covering 1993–1996 involving a girl and 2006–2010 involving a boy, both in the Glasgow region, with two charges of alleged child sex abuse.
- In August at the High Court in Glasgow, Euan Dow, defence lawyer, said Dott `pleads not guilty to two charges on the indictment` and argued the allegations were fabricated.
- The 48-year-old is on bail ahead of a trial set for August 17 next year involving Dott, 48.
- As a former world champion, Graeme Dott's 2006 World Snooker Championship win and runner-up finishes in 2004 and 2010 have drawn the snooker community’s attention to the case.
