Well, Mr. Grand Inquisitor, I would have to guess the person in question would have to move, maybe to some place sunny and warm, and change his name. Which is why when dealing with pedophiles, I still firmly believe the offended and all who love them should be given five minutes alone with the perpetrator. You can't run away from the fact that your Grandmother or first born was force fed their own fingers because of some crime you committed. You also can't run away from being beaten to death or crippled by an angry mob.
However, when strictly speaking of torturing a person, public humiliation is only a small part of an extensive field. Pick up any book of torture, and you're certain to read of public executions and torments. To torture someone in secret or in a dungeon is almost wasteful when done by a governing body.
