Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

I got a piece of junk email that said "online teen masturbation" I opened the email without thinking and there was a link which I DID NOT click on. I deleted the email. It basically said click here. I figure that just opening an email and viewing that text is not any sort of crime but I was simply wanting to confirm this. I guess I should just delete an email like that but it was a simple lapse in judgement and I saw NOTHING. ALSO, I WOULD NOT WANT TO SEE ANYTHING!

If you're wondering if your actions were criminal, I would say no. If you had no intent to open an unsolicited email, then it's no crime. Obviously this is a lesson for the future.
