It seems that the allegation that he began a sexual relationship with Aisha when she was 9 years old is correct.

What verifiable historical sources are there on Muhammad (or for that matter any figure from that far back in history?).

Mohgammed is quite a well-documented historical figure. Not only is he credited with writing the Qu'ran but there are the hadiths, the teachings of mohammed, most (but not all) of which are closely tied to genuinely contemporaneous accounts of his lifes and activities.

I'm afraid that, in the absence of an Islamic scholar on the site to give us a different view, everything points to the fact that he did.
