Former snooker world champion Graeme Dott has been found guilty of historical child sex abuse, as reported by Sky News.
The 49-year-old was accused of "lewd, indecent and libidinous practices and behaviour towards two children," the report details, and was tried in a Glasgow High Court in regards to the allegations.
The allegations are reported to have spanned across the years 1993 until 1996 involving a girl, and from 2006 to 2010, involving a boy.
At the time that the allegations are reported to have taken place both children were of primary school age.
Dott has denied any wrongdoing in connection to the allegations, but has been found guilty by the Glasgow court.
He will be sentenced at a separate hearing in Edinburgh on 29 September.
