If you want to be generous, you can say they fear that no amount of investigation will clearly establish what happened so long ago, but even that requires a level of concern that he might of done it.
And of course he did. You have to be insane (and/or a misogynist) to think anyone would put themselves through this if he didn't.

I've not heard those defenses in detail because I try to limit my reading on this subject to credible sources.
Anyone offering those defenses is just a garden variety idiot. That only harms the Rs more, for the reason you cite. I'm willing to bet anyone saying that has received a call from the GOP leadership saying, "Don't speak on this issue again. Better yet, go on vacation. Now."
