Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

Could I be charged in the following situation? I met a girl on Blendr, essentially an iPhone dating app that requires users to be 18 or older, whose profile said she was 21. She looked slightly younger, so I asked her again if she was 21 and she said yes. We talked about meeting up and having sex, and exchanged a few sexual messages. No pictures of a suggestive or sexual nature were ever sent, only pictures of faces. We started texting via cell phone, and I changed my mind and said I wouldn't meet her until she verified her age. After a lot of coercion, she sent a picture of her drivers license. She was 17. I told her we needed to end contact and that I would never be meeting up with her, as she was underage. She got mad and started insulting me (the entire time she was almost incoherent, she seemed very unintelligent), and said she was going to call the cops. Though her threat was most likely empty, I'm worried. Could I be charged with anything?

No, only in your mind (in my opinion).
