Can I get in trouble if I thought I was speaking to a prostitute about meeting?

I’m writing this with a burner account. Someone I met on a dating app recently attempted to use sextortion against me. I am scared to report them because prior to them revealing their true intentions, they told were a prostitute. We were chatting and I was just looking for fun when they told that they charge for sex. We didn’t meet or do anything and no money was ever exchanged, but I did ask them what their rates were. Afterwards, that is when they tried to scam me to delete pictures I had sent. Now I’m afraid I will get in trouble if I report the incident because it could appear that I had the intent of paying for sex. Overall, I made a stupid mistake and I want to make sure this person is penalized and never hurts anyone else again.
