In cases like this there will often be information/evidence not made public and if any new accusers step forward their evidence would need to reasonably match it.

With no actual evidence, other than old stories, I dont see how they can be convicted.

Pre-court, that's the job of the CPS. They'll decide if there's a reasonable prospect of conviction. They don't always get it right obviously but that's a different story.
During court, it's the job of Harris' defence team to cast doubt on what the accuser is saying happened all those years ago.
