Using someone else's pictures on facebook?

Using someone else's pictures on facebook?
Okay, so a while back a little girl was messaging me on facebook saying that she was a child actress. I wanted to know if she was telling the truth, so I made a fake facebook page to ask her questions to see if she really was. On this fake page, I found a random child model and used a few of her pictures saying it was "me" with the intention of deleting the page soon afterwards. I kind of got carried away and used more pictures of her and was having fun pretending to be her. I didn't ever think that this was wrong. I never thought of it. Now, someone messaged me saying that they knew I was taking someone else's pictures, and that they told the girl's mom and that she was calling her lawyer? Until that moment, I never thought of any way it could be wrong. I didn't actually pretend to be the girl, I just used her pictures and a different name. I now see how this was wrong, and I deleted the page because I realized that. But I'm not sure if this person actually contacted the girl's mom, and how to get out of this situation if she did. What do you suggest I do? Again, reading through this makes me realize even more that what I was doing was wrong, but before I just thought of it as a game of sorts. I'm only fifteen, and my friends have made fake accounts similar to this so I didn't think it was wrong until now.

Thank you for any help.
I did delete the account right after I got the message.

Ever hear of Identity Theft. Claiming a photo of someone is your photo is definitely a theft of that persons identity.
Best to delete the site and scrub your pc.
