A woman came home on Christmas to find a convicted sex offender sitting on her living room floor folding her laundry. He told police someone let him into the home and asked him to clean it.

Paul Edge, 58, actually left a mess of 15 cigarette butts.

The Tribune writes:

The woman said she and her fiancé both sensed something wrong when they saw a piece of her luggage outside the home. Her fiancé walked in first and they both spotted Edge.

“He was going through my laundry and folding my sports bra,’’ she said. “He said he was here to do the dishes.’’

Edge faces charges of criminal trespass and of violating sex offender registration.
