IIRC that'll never happen, all of the alleged crimes are past statute of limitations. He'll never see a trial regardless of how much evidence is uncovered.

The fact that this hasn't tanked Moore in the polls and he still has even remotely a chance truly says something about Alabama.

If Moore wins Take Your Daughter to Work Day will become a state holiday.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be proof of a pan-Islamic plot and Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand, crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of mentally ill lone wolves who do not represent their professed belief system at all.
The probability of someone secretly participating in homosexual acts is directly proportional to the frequency and loudness of their publicly professed disapproval and/or disgust for homosexuality.
If Donald Trump accuses an individual of malfeasance without evidence, it is almost a certainty either he or someone associated with him has in fact committed that very same malfeasance to a greater degree.

The alleged victims really should've manned up -- ahem -- and filed charges in the two-year-period after their alleged molestation.

Sad for them, really, but Roy Moore can now haunt the Mall and play Humbert Humbert all he wants, all thanks to their completely understandable but stupid stupid trauma.

That people there don't care if he's Ted Bundy and Humbert Humbert combined so long as he's a Republican? I mean, all those twists of logic and sense employed by the GOP there just to justify his remaining in the race, by the good Lord...

Didn't Moore tell them that no one would believe them because of his political position?

Yep. And teenagers are expected to understand the criminal justice system apparently.

Quick question: Do you feel the same way about Bill Clrinton?

Also, we can certainly make a judgement even without a court ruling if we have multiple verified accounts of him being a creepy pile of hypocritical fundamentalist scum.
