Legal Question in Technology Law in North Carolina

I posted a photo of someone on a Craigslist ad as a joke. The problem is the persons photo I used is 16 and did it in the m4m casual encounters section. After he said he got the police involved I told him it was me. What charges can be filed against me and he said he wouldn't press charges if I paid him $500 is that legal for him to do as well?
