Graeme Dott was found guilty of two charges at the High Court in Glasgow
Former world snooker champion Graeme Dott has been found guilty of child sexual abuse.
The 49-year-old denied two charges of lewd and libidinous behaviour towards a girl and a boy between 1993 and 2010.
During a trial, the High Court in Glasgow heard that Dott had exposed himself and inappropriately touched a primary school girl in the 1990s and attacked a young boy between 2006 and 2010.
Lord Harrower told Dott, who won the World Snooker Championship in 2006, he would be sentenced at a separate hearing in Edinburgh on 29 September.
Dott covered his face with his hands and shook his head while the verdict was delivered by jurors following a five-day trial.
He previously called the allegations made against him "disgusting".
Dott won the world championship title in 2006
Lewd and libidinous practices refer to any sexual crimes against children committed prior to 1 December 2010.
The offence was abolished in 2009, but is still used for crimes carried out before then.
During the trial, the court heard how Dott had "caressed" the girl's bottom while giving her a piggyback and that, on another occasion, he had exposed himself to her.
On another occasion, she said Dott suggested she "take her trousers down" and lifted her top and began kissing her stomach after asking if she wanted to "play a guessing game".
The girl, now a woman in her 40s, said Dott would kiss her, touch her inappropriately and carried out a sexual act that would, if committed now, amount to rape.
She said she recalled the "smell" of creams Dott used for a skin condition after he kissed her and that the actions left her "shocked and scared".
The court heard how Dott bought her a teddy bear with a love heart on it in the course of the abuse.
