Re: is harassing and slandering ones name illegal?
This is illegal conduct under both state + Federal law. It also likely violates the TOU for the website + her ISP. I would recommend a strongly worded Cease + Desist letter from your Attorney. I have had numerous clients with similar situations + we have brought them to a stop.
