You need to send Yahoo a cease and desist letter. It will mean more if it comes from a lawyer. Further you need to check your credit reports carefully and you may need to bring on a law suit both against Yahoo and the stalker.
A good web investigator may be able to find out who it is who is doing this and then proper steps may be instituted.
