debauchers

Those who corrupt

Debauchers are people who corrupt others, typically by leading them into excessive indulgence in sensual pleasures—drinking, sexual activity, or other dissipation.

The word carries moral judgment, implying someone who deliberately draws others away from virtue: The old debauchers held court at the bar, buying rounds for anyone young enough to corrupt.
