More details to this question:
I was sexting with a person, some nude photos were exchanged. The person asked me to go for a ride one night. The person preformed oral sex on me and now is threatening harassment charges against me. The person has all the text and I didn't save any.

You should not send photos or sexual texts, make threats, or insult people online or in texts. The person may go to the police and they may find that you have committed a crime. Do not talk to the police if they approach you or call you. Retain a good lawyer to handle the case. O

No they have a poor case but they could be charged with extortion if they are asking for anything so you don't get charged.

They can file a police report and it will be up to the prosecutor to decide if charges are appropriate. Keep in mind, that anybody can be charged with anything. It is one thing to be charged, it is another matter entirely for them to prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. If you have been charged, consult with an experienced criminal attorney in your area.
