First of all I am sorry for what you went through, it must of been awful to go through that.

As for the laws, I am unsure but I would probably just get a new phone,

The police can do anything they want if they have a warrant to do it. If they do have a warrant, they're probably not going to tell you. If I were you, I'd steer clear of downloading/sharing nudes on your phone from now on. You came within a hair's breath of being charged for doing it, and you don't want to take the chance again, do you?

But remember, they can't charge you if somebody else texts a picture to YOU, unless YOU SHARE it elsewhere. So if some young girl sends you nudes, just delete them. DO NOT send them elsewhere and I'd advise NOT saving them.
