Former snooker world champion Graeme Dott has told a court there is “absolutely no way” he sexually abused two children.
The 49-year-old is accused of lewd, indecent and libidinous behaviour towards two primary school age children.
The allegations span between 1993 and 1996 involving a girl, and 2006 to 2010 involving a boy, both in the Glasgow region.
Dott has denied the two charges against him.
Giving evidence to his trial at the High Court in Glasgow on Thursday, Dott denied carrying out any of the alleged abuse.
Asked about his first alleged victim by his lawyer Euan Dow, Dott said there was “absolutely no way” he had touched her inappropriately.

He was asked about skin cream he used for eczema, which the woman, who is now in her 40s, had told the court on Monday she could smell when he allegedly kissed her.
Dott denied the cream he used had a smell, saying he always used E45 and the “whole point of it” is that it is odourless.
He also said “No” when asked if he had ever kissed her.
