Just to point a few things out.
I am not sure she is going to sue but rather prosecute. In the UK we have an old law thaqt dates back to when phones were switch board operated. The law was brought in to stop people abusing the staff when they called. Odly this old law has been used with the internet. Also UK law has some broadcasting laws that stop you harrasing people. In recent years police have prosecuted a few people for what they have posted on facebook.
In this case its not just isp's its full accounts. the isp's are probabely irrelevent. a lot of people on facebook sign up using there real name and email address. thus its not easy to say its not you when its your details.
---------------------------------
This is a new trend. not new in the sence that people have been abusive for years on the net. but its becase facebook and twitter are now used by new people who are not net nerds. while for you and i, we would probably not take any notice. for the new people who are using the service they are taking it personaly. many uk celebs are getting upset by comments.
basicly you can imagine a 40 year old houswife, joins facebook and sudenly gets abuse.
