Shamed ex-world snooker champion Graeme Dott removed from hall of fame after child sex abuse conviction
The former world champion was removed from the Hall of Fame and had his membership revoked after jurors found him guilty on two child abuse charges.
- On Tuesday, World Snooker removed Graeme Dott from the World Snooker Tour Hall of Fame with immediate effect following his conviction Monday at the High Court in Glasgow for sexually abusing two children.
- A five-day trial heard the 49-year-old Scot subjected a girl and a boy to abuse between 1993 and 2010, with jurors finding Dott guilty of two counts of lewd, indecent, and libidinous behavior.
- Dott, the 2006 world champion, reached the final at the Crucible in 2004 and 2010, losing to Ronnie in the former and Neil Robertson in the latter.
- The World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association responded to the verdict on Monday by permanently revoking Dott's membership after an emergency board meeting unanimously agreed to remove him from the sport.
- During the trial, one victim told the court Dott suggested playing a "guessing game" while abusing her, while another male victim in his late 20s said Dott touched him inappropriately while showering.
