Former world snooker champion Graeme Dott has been found guilty of sexually abusing two children in a case involving allegations dating back decades.

Dott, 49, was convicted at the High Court in Glasgow on Monday after a trial concerning two separate charges of "lewd, indecent and libidinous behaviour". The allegations involved a girl between 1993 and 1996 and a boy between 2006 and 2010. According to Reuters, Dott denied the charges throughout the trial but was convicted after the court heard evidence relating to both alleged victims.
