There's also the fact that when Ambrosio is considering, and then using, Matilda's witchcraft to get the chance to rape Antonia, both characters and the narrator treat the use of magic as a worse sign of his moral degeneration than the rape itself, where a modern audience is likely to have less of an immediate revulsion for magic but be disgusted by rape.
