It's out of character for me to rape someone too, but I could of course easily overpower some random woman on the street if I wanted to. Let's for argument's sake assume he did do it. Any investigation will be inconclusive and ultimately dropped. He is not going to go to jail based on here-say on an incident from that long ago.

Are you kidding?
A woman is accusing a man of a very serious crime. It would be handled just like any other accusation. Investigators would try to pinpoint the date, time, and place of the party, and then try to determine if both of them were there. Then they would interview other people that were there. Maybe some of them saw the three of them in a room alone. Maybe directly after the incident she told someone about it. It seems she also told her husband about this incident, her shrink, and it also seems it was common knowledge at the school - one other classmate came forward and said she had heard rumors about the incident in school.
The problem is we aren't even investigating.
This is insane. If your local school board was considering a new high school principal and someone came forward saying twenty years ago this person raped them, would you be okay with the school board hiring this person without any kind of an investigation?
Now three other woman have come forward with other stories.
This man was the most unpopular Supreme Court Justice nominee ever before these accusations came out. Why are Republicans pushing so hard for this nominee? Oh, that's right... They want to rig the Supreme Court in their favor in the event there is a legal issue with the Mueller investigation and it becomes a legal manner.
