Courtney Smith's attorney, Julia Leveridge, suggested Tuesday her client is hopeful Ohio State's investigation into head football coach Urban Meyer's handling of domestic violence allegations made against Smith's ex-husband and former wide receivers coach Zach Smith in 2015 will yield positive results.
According to ESPN.com, Leveridge said the following about the investigation:
"Ms. Smith is cautiously optimistic that The Ohio State University's investigative committee will determine if proper reporting protocol was followed upon learning of the ongoing, abuse allegations against Zach Smith. We believe the University must prioritize the safety and well-being of others above all else.
