The man, whom authorities identified as
Benson Carroll, a 38-year- old horse trainer, said he borrowed a friend's car to do errands. He said he was abducted at knifepoint at a grocery store by a man he had never met, taken to a trail along Coyote Creek near Highway 101 and Burnett Avenue, was bound, gagged and assaulted. He also said the suspect made derogatory remarks about his sexual orientation.
But after the story aired in the media, an anonymous source steered detectives to the alleged assailant. That man, a 26-year-old whom Hirokawa did not identify, told detectives that Carroll picked him up on Thursday night and took him to a motel in San Jose, where he and Carroll met a third man.
The three stayed there during the night and engaged in "consensual adult activities," Hirokawa said, declining to be more specific.
.....Detectives confronted Carroll with the new information yesterday, and he revised his original story, Hirokawa said.
