desecrator
One who defiles
A desecrator is someone who violates or treats with contempt something considered sacred or worthy of reverence.
The word carries strong condemnation—a desecrator of graves disturbs the dead, a desecrator of holy sites commits sacrilege.
The term extends to cultural treasures and memorials: The vandals were condemned as desecrators of the nation's heritage.
