An angle I've just appreciated is of the ones I've encountered at 12 Steppers is, all of them used alcohol to either reduce their inhibitions in committing the offence, and/or, used alcohol (or worse) to make the victim more easily coerced.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
