I don't get how changing her password will stop the emails. It won't stop other people from sending her FB notifications and messages, it just stops her from logging in to see them.
I think there has to be a way to get in touch with this person and I hope OP figures it out and does just that, but jfc some of you. She didn't post nude pictures on this girl's Facebook. Lord.
Glad to hear because honestly, it would be stupid to. This is very likely a spam account. Much like Nigerian princes don't care if you write back to them with a string of obscenities, this fake person won't care that you said something mean.

This is a really odd thread.
It isn't spam.
Her old account was deactivated so she started a new one. Which would need a new address- mine. I have no intention of hijacking her page for weird comments or something. Just trying to get in contact, even if it is with her fb page.
The easy solution? Send her a FB message from your account and tell her. A different method? Look at who comments her the most and send them a message to let her know. Another method? From her own FB, send her a message to herself. Leave her a FB status and set it so that only she can see it.

How do you know that it was deactivated? How do you know it isn't a spambot? Don't you wonder why the person couldn't sign up for an account with her own new email address? It isn't like new email addresses are hard to come by. Which is why there's something fishy here.
And why don't you just cancel the account? People aren't allowed to sign up for accounts with other people's email accounts (particularly after their original account was deactivated, likely for bad behavior). So deactivate it and report to facebook. Problem solved. There is no reason to give someone who is committing fraud by using your email address the benefit of the doubt. And if she gets sad that you were mean and shut the account down, she can always steal another person's email and start over. She seems to have no problem with that.
This is, like, the world's least problemish problem.
When this happened to me, I tried everything from contacting facebook to sending her messages using my account. Neither she nor FB would reply, so I just went in and deleted the account. Since you mentioned that the names are all porno-sounding, it's more than likely a fake account. I know the one I deleted was a catfish account (conversation with her and a girlfriend about how exactly one catfishes). If there was a way to get FB to reply, I couldn't figure it out, and believe me, I spent hours trying. In the end, I was not going to tolerate what amounted to porn in my inbox every morning.

I looked at her page before and her comment was her old account was deactivated and she has a new one, the timeline coincides with my slew of new emails/notification from fb.
I deactivated it. My concern is she does it again.
answer meeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!! how did she validate your email id for her FB account?
I"m not the OP and I'm just guessing here, but maybe she signed up with one email account and then just changed her email account on her established facebook. I seem to recall doing this, and not needing to confirm in any way. I could be wrong.
if anyone cares. I was getting fb mobile updates for janesmith @ gmail and I am jane.smith. Ends up she is about an 18 year old from FL with FANTASTIC friends, well at least the names. (sarcasm)
I essentially went into her fb and changed her password. I know she will never see it nor guess it, but wanna hear? Nachoemail
Yes, I am a childish, but I do not care.
Now, the question is what do I do with control over her fb page?
ETA: I am not going to do anything evil. I deactivated. I was thinking of being nice and posting something on her page about it not being her email. But, I didn't want the headache of dealing with a teenager or more emails.
We did this on match.com after someone used Hs email. It was fun. Immature but fun
I'm loling at not wanting to deal with a teenager. The only one acting like a teen here, is you.
You activated her account. You could have deleted the first e-mail and been done with it. And then instead of telling her about it, you deleted it. She is going to make a new account, this is all going to happen again.

You don't need to. FB just sends email after email requesting it to be validated. But you can still use it. I don't know how, since I haven't signed up for a FB account since FB first started. I do know when it happened to me, I definitely didn't activate the account, hoping that it would mean the messages would stop showing up.

I didn't activate the account, just the mobile. The account was activated already because I was getting confirmation of friends and notifications. I am sure if she never signed up for notifications I wouldn't have know my email was being used.
I am not sure what to do if she does it again. I just hope she moves on to a new email.
Well, I got the email that said I could reactivate it with the password. Since she doesn't know the new password (which as Miso said I was upset no one thought was funny) I think I should be ok. Also, to get info to reactivate the email would come to me anyway.
I simply deleted that email. Hopefully done with it all.
Are you attempting to say my husband actually set up the match.com profile?
I highly doubt my husband was looking for a middle aged man to keep him warm at night.
It was a joke (well, maybe not if nobody got it, lol). Because of that other thread where the woman actually believed her husband didn't set up the dating profile. The evidence her H was much more damning, though.
I originally assumed it was a joke, and then was all wait what? I missed the other thread.
You seriously changed someone's password and deactivated their FB profile account because she used your email address? She could have easily left off a single number or letter and it could have been a simple mistake.
I know that not everyone thinks of FB in the same way, but all of my friends are on FB. My business page is on FB. I would be heartbroken if someone took down my page.
You're seriously an asshole.
Ehhh... the girl had just set this new one up.
And you can deactivate without deleting. I have friends who deactivate when they're job hunting, etc. and then reactivate when they're clear.

That's fine, think I am an asshole. Apparently you take your facebook account more seriously than I take my email account. She had just started this new facebook account (with my email address) because her old one was deactivated. Trust me when I say that the number of friend confirmation and requests I received in 2 days leads me to believe she will no problem finding her friends again.
I don't think you're an asshole, but here's what I would do.
I'd reactivate it, and send yourself a message on her FB. Well, send her a message on the FB letting her know that she is using your email account and you'd appreciate it if she'd change the email account. Can you do that?
She may have plugged in a random email account due to sheer laziness or thinking that she'd get spam, which you are now getting.
She didn't have the message icon on her FB page so I couldn't send her a message. My other thought was to post on her wall to contact me at the email address she set up for FB, but then since she is younger I was concerned her friends would also start flooding my email.
I did try to send a message to her friend, but got nothing from them.
