Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia

I went to work for a business broker while employed my position changed from doing brokering to doing secretary work. I was salary, but he paid me cash except for one time that he paid me in the form of a check. I tried to get him to work up a written agreement but he always put it off.... after not being paid several time I gave him my resignation. I tried to go to the Dept. of Labor but he lied to them stating that I was never his secretary, even though my resignation letter includes all the payment information and the amount he still owed to me. He refused to pay me my remaining wages unless I have sex with him. I told the DOL about the sexual harassment... but they couldn't go after him because he has less than 15 employees. They told me that I should take him to small claims court but I know he will lie to them as well.... If I were to get him on tape saying these things to me can I use the recorded conversations between him and me in court as evidence against him? (1. showing that he owes me the money & 2. that he is sexually harassing me, holding my owed wages to bribe me in exchange for sex)

Take this reneging SOB to small claims courts and, since Virginia is a so-called one party state when it comes to the admissibility of such recordings, you should be able to present and have admitted ino evidence these recordings which may support your claim.
