Graeme Dott’s sentence puts accountability ahead of reputation.

Reuters reported on 29 September that former snooker world champion Graeme Dott was sentenced to seven years in prison after conviction for sexually abusing two children. This is a reported conviction and sentence, not an unresolved allegation.

The relevant public-interest questions concern accountability and the protection of children. Fame cannot substitute for scrutiny. This brief avoids identifying victims or reproducing graphic details of abuse. The accompanying photograph is an archive image, not a photograph of the proceedings.
