Snooker player Graeme Dott allegedly told a boy to stay out while he was in a room with a girl he is accused of abusing.

The High Court in Glasgow heard that the former world champion is alleged to have become “quite angry” when the child walked in.

Dott, 49, is accused of lewd and libidinous behaviour towards two youngsters, a girl and a boy, between 1993 and 2010.

Dott denies the charges against him.

Jurors earlier heard a number of sexual accusations from the girl, who is now in her 40s, against Dott, including inappropriate touching at a house in Glasgow.

A male witness, who knew the girl when they were both children, gave evidence and said there were occasions when they would be together and Dott would also be there.

Prosecutor Lindsey Dalziel asked the witness if there was a time he noticed something about Dott’s behaviour towards her when they were all together.

The man replied: “Yes, maybe I was nine or 10 years old. I remember him telling me not to go into the room when he was in with her.”

The witness claimed this occurred “more than once” at the house in Glasgow.

Dalziel asked what happened after he allegedly was asked to stay out of the room.

“When an adult told you not to do something, you generally did not do it,” the man said.

He then stated he had a “vague memory” of going in at some stage despite the alleged warning.

Asked if he could recall anything else, the witness went on: “Not really. I remember being told to leave.”

Dalziel asked the man to confirm who it was he claimed had told him to leave, to which he answered: “Graeme. I think he was quite angry.”

The witness initially gave a police statement in 2001 before speaking to officers again in 2025.

Euan Dow, defending, questioned him on what he said on the earlier date.

This included the man, a teenager at the time, stating: “I cannot remember walking into the room.”

He also told officers: “I have not got a very good memory.”

Speaking in court, the witness said it had been a “long time ago” but claimed his memory had improved during what Dow described as the “passage of time”.

However, the defence advocate said it appeared there was “no mention at all about being told to stay out of the room” by Dott.

The trial earlier heard the completion of the then girl’s evidence.

Among the allegations she made were that Dott “caressed” her bottom while giving her a piggyback or “coaksey” and that he also separately exposed himself.

Jurors heard how she told a friend and others a number of years later about what she claimed occurred.

Dow quizzed the witness about a conversation she had with one woman about the accusations.

The advocate asked at one stage: “Did you say that you could take it to the newspapers and make a lot of money?”

The woman denied this.

The trial, before Lord Harrower, continues.
