The trial of former world snooker champion Graeme Dott on allegations of historic child sex abuse has begun at the High Court in Glasgow.
The 49-year-old is accused of lewd, indecent and libidinous behaviour towards two primary school age children. The allegations span between 1993 and 1996 involving a girl, and 2006 to 2010 involving a boy, both in the Glasgow region.
Denies Charges
Dott has denied the two charges against him. His trial got under way on Tuesday before judge Lord Harrower. Dott was present in court and dressed in a dark suit.
