The Greenville, Maine, police chief equates skinny-dipping with prostitution.

Not quite. He pointed out that public indecency (the charge faced by the Black Frog "skinny dippers"), like prostitution, is a misdemeanor. This doesn't mean that one is as "bad" as the other (whatever that means), but that both face the same maximum punishment under the law.

The chief's comments are consistent with the meaning of the word "equate". While he didn't flat come out and state that nudists were whores, he clearly warned that skinny-dipping and prostitution were EQUALLY punishable under the same law.
