Former Snooker Champion Graeme Dott Guilty of Child Abuse

🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
Graeme Dott, who became world champion in 2006, now faces a tarnished legacy after being convicted of abusing two children nearly two decades apart.
💡 Why it matters
This conviction demonstrates that historical child sex abuse allegations can lead to accountability even for celebrated sports figures, potentially encouraging other victims to come forward.

Graeme Dott, former world snooker champion, was found guilty on Monday of sexually abusing two primary school-age children in separate incidents between 1993 and 2010. The conviction followed a five-day trial at the High Court in Glasgow.
