A. 

It shall be unlawful for any person to loiter or remain in a public place in a manner and under circumstances manifesting the purpose of engaging or soliciting another person to engage in sexual activity. The circumstances which may be considered in determing whether such purposes are manifested are that such person is a known prostitute or panderer, repeatedly beckons to, stops or attempts to stop a passerby or engages a passerby in conversation or repeatedly stops or attempts to stop motor vehicle operators by hailing, waving of arms or any other bodily gestures.

B. 

No arrest shall be made or no citation shall be issued for a violation of this ordinance unless the arresting officer, by direct demand, first affords such person an opportunity to explain such conduct.

C. 

No person shall be convicted of a violation of this ordinance if the arresting officer does not comply with the preceding subsection or if it appears at a trial that the explanation offered was true and disclosed a lawful purpose.
