A Question About Some Inappropriate Emails I Sent.

Recently I had a teacher that I thought was flirting with me at my college. All the signs were there, or so I thought, so after class ended I sent her a few emails along with a few pictures I now wish I had kept to myself.

She replied telling me to cease and desist all future emails, that she would be contacting the school and the police to make them aware of the situation, and that if I ever contacted her again she would pursue harassment charges against me.

My question is can she have me arrested for harassment for sending the emails I sent even if she never told me to stop writing until recently? Can the nature of the pictures get me into trouble? I haven't contacted her since, but I am worried that whatever police department she contacted could decide to pursue charges against me even if I don't ever email her again, which I won't.

I'm on probation right now, and I really should have thought about this ahead of time, but I didn't (lapses in judgement are how I wound up on probation). Any thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

You don't give enough information about the nature of the e-mails or pictures. I would stay away from this person and would not send out similar e-mails or photos to any other person unless such communications are requested by that person.
