If it were me I would force them to show me power of attorney before doing anything else. If he wants to stay there then he may have to deal with her. If he doesn't care and is willing to move, he can always just walk away or negotiate a break in the lease. If she is trying to evict him then clearly she shouldn't care if he walks away.
I personally would take into consideration how long the lease was for and how much it could end up costing me if I had to pay for he full remaining lease. If it wasn't too bad and she wouldn't negotiate a break in the lease, I would walk away. If she tries to sue he can always go to court and argue that he didn't want to have anything to do with a guy that is convicted of CP and that you tried in good faith to negotiate a break.
It sounds like she might be a little crazy so if it were me I would do whatever I needed to in order to get away from her.
