Go to the police with this. They basically stole your identity.

I actually don't think this is an issue for the police unless there is fraud in inducement to trade down the line. this is not like the identity theft that we see from the FTC warnings, but your state may have something on the books. The challenge is this...does the person live in your state too? If not, it won't help that you have state law on your side. I don't think there is applicable fed law, but i could be wrong on that. I do think you have the sketches of a great law suit for slander and libel. BTW, notify YAHOO about what is going on. They would be interested to know this has happened.
Get a lawyer and consider filing suit against both YAHOO and/or the perp. If the person is a kid, the parents are on the hook. if the person is an adult, you could be looking at owning everything they have or will get, especially if you can show serious damage to your reputation. YAHOO will probably get off the hook, but they have allowed this person to say/do some serious things with your identity without verifying that the identity was you. That could be worth money to you.
Good luck.

A person commits an offense if the person obtains, possesses, transfers, or uses identifying information of another person without the other person's consent and with intent to harm or defraud another.
"Identifying information" means information that alone or in conjunction with other information identifies an individual, including an individual's:
(A) name, social security number, date of birth, and government-issued identification number;
(B) unique biometric data, including the individual's fingerprint, voice print, and retina or iris image;
(C) unique electronic identification number, address, and routing code, financial institution account number; and
(D) telecommunication identifying information or access device.
