D.M., A CHILD, Appellant, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Sec. 796.07(2)(f) makes it unlawful ". . . to solicit, induce, entice, or procure another to commit prostitution, lewdness, or assignation." Appellant's contention is that a charge of enticing to lewdness is not a crime under the statute where there is no proof of prostitution. We disagree. The word "or" is generally construed in the disjunctive when used in a statute or rule, and normally means that alternatives were intended. Sparkman v. McClure, 498 So.2d 892, 895 (Fla. 1986). The statute in question makes it a crime to entice another to any of the prohibited acts.

AFFIRMED.

GRIFFIN, C.J., ANTOON, J. and ORFINGER, M., Senior Judge, concur.
