Facebook does not help you trace the IP address but will take action it deems appropriate upon receiving your report. You may use the "Report" links that appear near the offending content. Follow any of these steps:

Report a profile: Go to the profile and click the "Report/Block this Person" link that appears in the left column below the profile photo.
Report a photo: Go to the specific photo and click the "Report This Photo" link that appears below the photo.
Report an Inbox message: View the message and click the "Report Message" link that appears below the sender’s name. Note that you can report messages only from non-Friends.
Report a group or event: Go to its main page and click the "Report" link that appears below the group or event photo.
Report a Page: View the Page and click the "Report Page" link that appears in the left column below the Page photo.
