And the biggest problem, this is a he said, she said situation. Even if you have this as a court issue, you have to prove more than what someone said to another. You have to have some things documented.

I understand what you are saying, but VHSL sanctioned organizations don't have "girls" or "boys" officials, and the VHSL's leader has made that very clear throughout the years. So any conference who made such a request would have to do so "off the record".

Like I said earlier, if this were my association I would stand up in the middle of a meeting and bring this to full light by asking for an official response concerning the rumors. It is either true or it is false.
