The 22-year-old’s ex-girlfriend, Brittany Hura, took to social media in a bizarre revenge porn attack which lasted weeks and contained images including full-frontal nude shots of Cartwright.

Hura has since removed the photos as well as death threats made to Cartwright posted on her social media accounts.

It is understood Cartwright and Hura ended their six-year courtship over another woman.

She was on Tuesday afternoon arrested following a report made to police on Monday. 

“I do take (the death threats) back — obviously it happened but I was drinking as well which doesn’t help,” Hura told News Corp.

“All my emotions are raging at the moment.

“I have mixed emotions and don’t know whether I am happy and sad or angry and I haven’t really dealt with them yet.”

Fletcher said in a statement that it was now a police matter.

“The club has been monitoring the behaviour of Bryce Cartwright's ex-girlfriend for some time,” the Panthers CEO said.

“The situation escalated over the weekend with serious threats being directed towards Bryce and those close to him via social media platforms.

“As a result, this is now a NSW Police matter. We are most appreciative of the swift response by NSW Police to this situation. 

“The priority of Panthers is to ensure the protection, safety and wellbeing of Bryce, his partner and his family. We are affording Bryce all the support we can during this difficult time.”
