Former World Snooker Champion Jailed for Sexually Abusing Children

Scotland, United Kingdom: Former world snooker champion Graeme Dott was sentenced to seven years in prison after being convicted of sexually abusing two children, a girl and a boy, between 1993 and 2010. The court heard that Dott sexually assaulted the girl and subjected her to other sexual misconduct. He denied the charges but was found guilty following a trial.

Action to Be Taken

Child sexual abuse must be reported and investigated through child-sensitive procedures, with survivors receiving long-term legal and psychological support.
