Unless she’s an underage why would you be fired for exchanging pictures with another consenting adult? Perhaps there’s more to it than you’re sharing.

Can she post them publicly to shame you? Perhaps… but I think you’re overreacting. Paying was the first mistake to be host with you. She smelled fear and now will continue to blackmail you!

If I was in your situation I’ll most definitely file a police report asap.

Not underage, and there truly is nothing more to it. I wouldn't create a throwaway account on hackernews only to leave out critical information such as that.

I don't think I could be fired for exchanging the photos with her, but if she sent them directly to the people I work beside every day then I can't imagine that'd foster a positive work environment.

If it’s a coworker then you have legitimate reasons to worry - and blackmail might be your saving grace.

Keep all communications!
