I’m scared for my life (trigger warning)

...See more Back in 2018, I met this guy over the internet. I was a senior in high school at that time and I was just excited for someone to notice me since I was a lonely kid. We never exchanged personal information and we didn’t know what we looked like either but, all I know was he was a much older man. He was kind to me at first and even introduced me to his other friends on the *** messaging app and they too were kind to me and praised me that I was still young in their eyes but, at the time I didn’t think much of it since I just turned 18 at that time and didn’t think about it. Fast forward more weeks, we started *** and he coerced me into sending pics of me (he doesn’t know what I look like and I don’t know his face either) and he asked me what I’m into. I told him basic categories like straight porn, gay, etc. and he said “ok” and sent me random links. I asked what were they for and he instructed me to download another app to view them. At that point, I did everything he said as he had this power over me and I downloaded this app/created an account to view the content after I imported it. After I did, I saw what they contained and I was mortified/scarred for life. I asked him why and he thought I’d like it and I said no. For weeks afterwards, my original plan was reporting everything but, I was scared because he did have pics of me and I didn’t want him to send those to his friends so, I had to wait until it was safe to block him. After I blocked him, his friends found out and tried to make me part of their group more and I left that group and blocked them as well before deleting that *** account entirely. I then planned to report the content still on the other app in my old phone at the time but, I was scared that no one would believe me that I was a victim to this so what I did was delete all of that, the account, and the email that went with the account out of fear for my own life as by that time, I just started college and everything was deleted by later 2018. Nothing happened to me ever since and I physically can no longer contact these people as everything is gone and I don’t ever plan on trying with that either. Now that it’s almost 2023, I need to renew my drivers license at the DMV as it expires soon next month and then I’ll have to apply for jobs as I finish college soon. My question is, do you think I’m alright legal wise? Like, I read about people having arrest warrants without their knowledge and that freaks me out because I’ve kept a clean record all my life and I don’t want that past situation to continue haunting me even though I know I was a victim to all of that and I didn’t know better at the time. I’m so sorry that this is a graphic situation as I cannot handle it anymore. I just need to know that will I be alright at the DMV in December and not receive a arrest warrant while I renew my license?
