The question is: who owned the Facebook page account--you or the employer? If you were the owner, then you have no problem. If the Company was the owner you could be charged with violations of federal criminal law (and probably state law too). If the company paid you for the time that you created it, it may be considered a work for hire, and the company would own it.
