Accusations of Sexual Misconduct Lead to Suspension of Previous Snooker World Champion Graham Dott
Here's the rewritten version:
Graeme Dott, the 2006 world snooker champion, is in hot water due to sex abuse charges that span two decades and involve two minors. The Scottish native reportedly abused a young girl in Glasgow between 1993 and 1996. Another charge alleges he mistreated a boy between 2006 and 2010[1]. The victims were about ten and seven years old, respectively, during the alleged incidents.
Dott's legal battle continues as his next court hearing is on June 11 in Glasgow. This suspension by the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA) means the 47-year-old won't be competing in this week's World Championship second round qualifiers unless he successfully appeals the decision[2][3][4]. The WPBSA's move comes as a blow to Dott who has reached the world title finals not once but twice.
