What honest reason does Tom have for helping mayella and how does the solicitor turn it around and use it against him.?

Tom helps Mayella out of genuine compassion, feeling pity for her lonely and difficult life. He sees her as a victim of her circumstances and wants to assist her in small ways. However, the solicitor manipulates this kindness, suggesting that Tom's act of helping Mayella was driven by inappropriate intentions, framing it as evidence of a romantic or sexual motive, which ultimately undermines Tom's credibility and leads to his unjust condemnation.
