Story summary

Netflix has announced it will produce a documentary titled "Untold: Wide Deceiver" about Daejon Love, who allegedly defrauded over two dozen women out of more than $1.3 million by posing as a San Francisco 49ers wide receiver for over two years. The series will feature interviews with the victims and delve into how Love used dating apps like Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, and Facebook Dating to target women across California, Oregon, and Washington. Love was arrested in August when he and his 18-year-old accomplice Taylor Jamie Chan were apprehended by the FBI at an airport in Boise, Idaho. The 49ers claimed they only learned of Love's actions through a complaint form submitted via their website last December, months before his arrest, conflicting with claims that they knew earlier about his fraudulent activities.
