"Pariah" is the East Indian word for the caste of people whose job it was to take care of dead bodies and other equally unpleasant tasks. These people were shunned by everyone else, who were not allowed to even touch them. Hence they are called "untouchables".
By analogy, someone who is shunned and avoided by everyone else because of something totally unacceptable they did or do can be called a "social pariah". In North America, a known child molester would be a good example.
