More details to this question:
This woman has been harassing me for 2 years. There was a sexting episode that happened years ago and she is now threatening me that she will send that to my family. I have had no contact for about a year in hopes it would stop and now seems to be escalating. She’s also sent fake letters to my job saying that me and my partner are racist. Totally not true, by the way. Help me please

These issues are very difficult to handle from a variety of angles. Civil suits are but one means and criminal prosecution another, with changing your number and disconnecting from her yet a third. All have various risks and exposures. You may need to spend some money on hiring a lawyer to help you sort outthe options you want to puruse and go from there. There is no easy answer to the situaiton you created.
