Jason Porter is not who he claimed to be; his real name was Jason Porter, not Jace Peretti as he pretended. He was not Italian as his fake surname suggested, nor was he a software engineer as he told his dates. He had a criminal past including multiple jail terms and was sentenced in April 2025 to about two years in prison and three years probation for stealing jewelry from Heather Rovet's mother.

Jason Porter used fabricated identities and a consistent con strategy, pretending to be a successful software engineer on a break to follow his passions. He used the same pickup lines, date ideas, and love-bombing techniques to charm women, often portraying himself as a devoted father embroiled in a custody battle that had actually ended years ago. He also reused personal and familial information from one partner to another to reinforce his freeloading identity.

Heather Rovet is the central figure who uncovers Jason Porter's true identity and criminal past. After discovering disturbing information about him, including theft and deception, she joins forces with other women he deceived to expose the truth. She also confronts Porter and participates in the documentary, while he refuses to appear.

Evidence included receipts to pawn shops found in his workshop, a bag of documents proving the custody battle had ended years ago, stolen jewelry from Heather Rovet's mother, and multiple prepaid Visa cards likely used to cover charges on a business account. Additionally, a syringe filled with steroids was found, indicating he used drugs to enhance his appearance.

Jason Porter refused to participate in the documentary and avoided being filmed. When Heather Rovet tried to confront him at a courthouse, he pulled his jacket over his head to hide his face from the cameras. He also locked her out of his email accounts after she confronted him about his deception.
