A person who intentionally causes extreme pain and suffering to someone.

A person who causes pain and suffering for the purpose of revenge, extortion, persuasion, or for any sadistic purpose.

NOTES:
* Torture is in many ways a penal code entry to enhance other charges. Torture can be added to any change in an instance where Torture took place while, or along with, the crime being committed. It is not automatically applied to charges that may be considered Torture (such as an Arson that leads to Murder) unless there is the demonstration of the perpetrator torturing someone specifically in that act of Arson. Ultimately it is up to police to use this charge responsibly.
