Former world snooker champion Graeme Dott gave a boy "money, sweets and chocolates" after sexual abuse, a court heard.
Dott, 49, is accused of lewd, indecent and libidinous behaviour toward two primary school age children. He denies both charges.
The allegations relate to a girl between 1993 and 1996 and a boy between 2006 and 2010, both in the Glasgow area.
Alleged shower incidents
One of the alleged victims gave evidence by video-link at the High Court in Glasgow on Thursday, saying he had been abused by Dott on a number of occasions.
He said he remembered the first alleged incident because Dott was world snooker champion at the time.
The man, now in his late 20s, alleged some of the incidents happened in a shower and said Dott would sometimes enter while partially or fully undressed.
While being questioned by advocate depute Lindsey Dalziel, he said: “He would… come into the shower and put soap on my body and wash me in the shower. While he was washing me he would touch me in inappropriate places.”
The man said that because of his age at the time, he “did not know what was going on”, and only later realised the interaction “wasn’t right”.
Alleged 'reward strategy'
He also alleged Dott was "clearly getting sexual gratification” and was “pleasuring himself” during the shower incidents. He later described separate alleged encounters in a car, claiming Dott kissed him on the face, head and lips and would “push himself up against me”.
The witness said the smell of the soap Dott used at the time still affects him and can trigger what he described as “PTSD flashbacks”.
He told the court Dott expected “nothing less than compliance” from him and alleged the defendant could become “quite aggressive” if he did not do what was wanted.
“(Dott) was quite forthcoming, his voice was aggressive,” the witness said. “Looking back on it I would say he knew what he wanted me to do.”
The court also heard allegations that Dott gave the boy gifts after alleged incidents. “I think he used money, sweets and chocolates as a reward strategy,” the man said. “So that would have been in his eyes a reward for me doing what he wanted.”
The witness said Dott once gave him a £50 note, but when he later tried to spend it in a shop the shopkeeper alerted his parents.
He told the court he claimed to have found the money when his parents questioned him, but they accused him of stealing it and gave him a “hard time”.
Defence cross-examination
Cross-examining the witness, Dott’s lawyer Euan Dow asked why he had not told his parents about the alleged abuse.
“I don’t remember why I lied,” the man replied.
Mr Dow later told him: “Can I make clear to you that Mr Dott doesn’t accept any of the instances of alleged abuse that you described in your evidence.”
The trial, before Lord Harrower, continues.
