If your "Facebook" account has been compromised by some third party, you need to report the incident to a "Facebook" representative and ask for an investigation over what transpired in a hope that you will be provided with the e mail address of the person or persons who improperly accessed your account.
If this happens and you are able to receive the e mail address of the invidual or individuals that accessed your account, then you have the information needed to make a formal complaint with law enforcement over what you have written about.
