I am of the mind that was expressed by Cary Grant in a movie,
"Under 18 protected by law, over 65 protected by nature, everything in between is fair game."I believe, like you, that there is something more to this story. Nobody ever questions Hugh Hefner about his late teen women.

In general, the Cary Grant quote is write.
She was probably under 18 at the time. (I don't know, I'm just guessing, but it seems likely.) Furthermore, if I'm the editor of the Tribune, I don't want my reporters and/or columnists getting involved with people they are writing about. It hurts the credibility of the entire paper, even if the writer discloses the relationship at the time. That alone would justify Greene's demise in my mind. Especially since Greene has a history of writing about and therefore dealing with troubled (and emotionally vulnerable) youth.
