The thing that Atticus is referring to is that Mayella is a white woman and she persuaded a 'negro' man. She kissed an African-American, which is considered as an unthinkable act in their society. She broke a frowned upon code, which has completely buried her in filthy lies to save herself.

As she had said she never kissed an adult before. Tom Robinson tried to back away trying not to touch her. |
