Bourdin, who turned out to have a long record of impersonating various children, real or imaginary, embellished his claim to be Nicholas Barclay by alleging that he had been kidnapped for purposes of sexual abuse by Mexican, European, and U.S. military personnel and transported from Texas to Spain. His impersonation fooled several officials in Spain and the U.S., and he was apparently accepted by many of Barclay's family members, even though he was seven years older than Barclay, spoke with a French accent, and had brown eyes and dark hair rather than Barclay's blue eyes and blonde hair. The impersonation was eventually unearthed as a result of the suspicions of a private investigator, Charles (Charlie) Parker, and an FBI agent, Nancy Fisher. Bourdin subsequently made a full confession, and in the film he elaborates on the various stages in his impersonation.

Florida Justice Transitions abrite 120 délinquants sexuels condamnés. Comme dans de nombreux autres États américains, les délinquants sexuels ne sont pas autorisés à vivre à moins de 300 mètres des lieux fréquentés par les enfants. Pour cette raison, de nombreux délinquants sexuels vivent sous des ponts ou dans des bois – ou dans le parc à roulottes Florida Justice Transitions – connu sous le nom de Pervert Park. Les crimes commis par les résidents vont de simples délits à des actes horribles insupportables à envisager.
