All remedies provided herein shall be cumulative and not exclusive.

process, and do not constitute a criminal offense. Notwithstanding
any other provision of the Escondido Municipal Code, the city does
not impose a criminal penalty for violations of the provisions of
this chapter related to sexual conduct or activities.
