Why would you be worried? In Law the main thing that matters to make a case against someone is demonstrating intent, and if you had no intent in receiving the material, not sure why you would have to care about that kind of risk.

Investigations, even if you are cleared of suspicion, will probably have a severe impact on your digital life. And this is the kind of illegal material that tends to bring out the "guilty until proven innocent" mindset. Even in the best of circumstances, I doubt the law enforcement or judicial people you deal with would be tech-savvy enough to treat you fairly.
