Former world snooker champion Graeme Dott has been sentenced to seven years in prison after a court found him guilty of sexually abusing two primary school‑age children.
The conviction followed a trial in which evidence showed Dott had engaged in inappropriate conduct with the children, who were under the age of 11.
Dott, who had previously competed at the highest level of professional snooker, was found to have violated the law and the trust placed in him as a public figure.
The case underscores the importance of safeguarding measures in sports and the serious legal consequences for those who exploit young athletes.
