Panthers' interim GM to meet with NFL regarding harassment allegation

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The NFL will meet with Carolina Panthers interim general manager Marty Hurney on Friday regarding an investigation into a harassment complaint by his ex-wife, according to Hurney’s attorney.

The league assigned Lisa Friel, a former New York City sex-crimes prosecutor who now investigates charges of off-the-field misconduct, to Hurney’s case, which falls under the league’s personal-conduct code.

Friel was hired by the league in 2014 to help establish a new policy on domestic violence. One of her first cases involved then-Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy, who was accused of attacking and threatening his girlfriend.
