New York Sexual Abuse Legal Questions

First of all, it sounds like you're talking about someone that you only met online, so I will assume that for the purposes of my response. The short answer is No, you cannot be arrested for denying someone access to nude photos of yourself. Quite frankly it sounds like the person you are speaking to may be pretending to be "his friend" in order to give you a hard time. I suspect their next course of action may be to say they won't go to the police if you do in fact send them photographs. I can't stress this enough, but you have no obligation to provide someone with naked photos of yourself. Additionally, it does not sound like you harassed the person you were speaking to, or promoted a suicide (PL 120.30) which effectively means helped someone commit suicide. These would be criminal offenses.    With that being said, if you do find a legitimate police officer contacting you, your best course of action would be to contact a Criminal Defense Attorney immediately. If the police contact you, be aware that you have the right to have an attorney present during any conversation with police, and their questioning of you should cease as soon as you let them know that you want an attorney present.
