112 So.3d 723 (2013)

CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH, Florida, Appellant, v. Terance Emmanuel CHATMAN, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

May 8, 2013.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Claudia M. McKenna , City Attorney, and Kimberly L. Rothenburg , Assistant City Attorney, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Carey Haughwout , Public Defender, and Paul E. Petillo , Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellee.


LEVINE, J.

The issue presented for our review is whether a municipal ordinance criminalizing "loitering with intent to commit prostitution" is facially unconstitutional. We find that the ordinance is overbroad and vague, and as such, we affirm the trial court which correctly found this ordinance unconstitutional.

Appellee was charged with violating the City of West Palm Beach ordinance regarding "Loitering with the Intent to Commit Prostitution."
