If there is a trial there would be no choice -- without producing it he would be found guilty of forgery, fraud, libel and slander.
Likewise the allegation about him being on a watch by Mall cops could easily be proven or disproved.
In both of these cases if he alleged slander and libel the burden would be on them to prove their claims. If they didn't bring forth evidence backing the claim they would lose.
He can claim everything is false because he knows their will be no trial. The only way there will be a trial is if he brings one for slander, but if he does that then they can counter sue.
So, when I look at the evidence what do I see:
1. Multiple accusations that individually are not (for the most part) criminal, but they are creepy.
2. Corroboration from coworkers of his, again not of criminality but of creepiness.
3. Corroboration from Mall cops.
4. Corroboration from a phone call to the school.
5. Corroboration from Roy Moore who says he never dated a girl without the mother's permission.
and finally,
6. Corroboration from the yearbook.
If the yearbook were proven false I would also dismiss the phone call without hard and solid evidence. If the Mall cops claim were proven false then I would agree with you that this was a political attack of the lowest and most despicable level. On the other hand if he does not work to clear his name on those two counts I will accept their claims and dismiss his denial as the lies of a liar who knows he won't have to prove it.
There is of course another possibility. He may have intentionally chosen to date 17 and 18 year olds, which in Alabama was probably legal. He may have also mistakenly had that adventure with the 14 year old since she was a waitress and he didn't realize she wasn't 17. That is the risk you take when you date 17 year olds. If this is the case I don't think it is fair to label him a pedophile, but creep does seem very appropriate.
