My husband was seeing this other girl and I found out about it and I left her a few messages on the internet and then posted a message on myspace about her and the things that she has done with mine and other ppls husbands. She said that she was going to file slander charges on me andi live in a different state then her. Can she do that and how can she prove that it was me that wrote the comments?
Well it would be libel I believe since it was written, not verbal.
But if you can prove in court everything you posted on the myspace page, you have nothing to worry about, if you posted any negative item that is not true, or something you can't prove.
To be honest posting bad things about the women your husband cheated with sounds like high school and very childish. You should take them down ASAP for your own dignity.
But if these postings has hurt her in some way that she can prove a loss, and you are not able to prove what you posted, yes she may have a cash.
Your myspace, she gets and proves you by IP address and other proof you did in making the myspace page. A person can be traced fairly easy by their postings if they did not cover their tracks by using public hot spots, setting up face hotmail or gmail address also done from hotspots and so on. And even then I understand there are ways such as tracing this post you just posted here saying it was your husband and your confession you just did here saying you did it.

The term defamation is often used to encompass both libel and slander.") What you posted had to meant to hurt the other woman's reputation. One other person has to have read the comments. What is posted has to be a false statement; if it is 100% true she has no action.
The Attorney would serve a Subpoena on Myspace and they would provide the identifying info on your Myspace account (they don't want to be a Defendant) - your server address, whatever they have available. That would be their proof.
I don't know what "you left her a few messages on the internet" means. Does that mean e-mails? If they were threatening in some way, then that's actionable.
And, as FrChuck said - you just admitted it on the Internet so once your server info is pulled if the Attorney has the "smarts" to look around this confession will pop up.
Once again - 2 women, 1 man - and the women are angry with each other instead of both being angry with him.
Then she would have to prove damages - different States doesn't enter into it.
