Happened to me about three years ago when someone scraped some text
out of a Wikipedia entry that just happened to contain a live link to
my site, and posted it on a couple of thousand porn sites.

No noticeable effect on traffic, and most of the links were gone after
three months or so.  Seems to be something the Google system is good
at dealing with.
