Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Wisconsin

Hey I was just wondering what kind of online harassment/slander is against the law? Can you only get in trouble if you post false information?

A couple years ago when I was younger, I stole boyfriends from many girls for fun. Recently one of the girls anonymously posted a blog and posts all over social networking sites warning females that I steal boyfriends/am a "whore," etc. I am completely humiliated and have lost many friends due to her posts. While there was no physical threat to me and the information about what I'd done was true, is there still a possibility to get her in trouble with the law? I do not think its fair that I'm being punished for something I did in my youth.
