It sounds like, with whatever web service you were using, you were basically spammed by someone working for a pornography site.

Spammers send email to everyone, just by virtue of any of us having email accounts.
I don't know what your email is like per having an additional chat service, but if it does, and strangers are contacting you that way, you can always turn that off or find out how to only allow people to chat with you who you know and approve.
Either way, being spammed isn't your fault or something you can get in trouble for. But in the interest of protecting your privacy and not being open to things like this if you don't want to be, I'd spend some time finding out about settings for your email service.
