It's really really hard. I'm not saying this is the general case, but we all know how catty students (and their parents) can be in HS when something is on the line. There is also a very very gray area in what can be defined as "sexual harassment". These two conditions often lead to volatile situations.
I would say that unless YOU, PERSONALLY, had a reason to distrust them (personal experience, a confession, etc.) that it's okay to continue trusting them. It bothers me that a lot of good clergy out there (and I'm not even Christian!) will be dragged through the mud because someone's parent is mad that a priest/rabbi/rector did something as innocent as giving their child a hug.
