Torture Suspect Says He Had Bondage Fantasies

Man says he doesn't know why he abducted the woman

Jurors have seen videotaped interviews of a Texas rape suspect telling investigators that he had sexual fantasies about bondage.

The video recordings from two interviews with Jeffrey Allan Maxwell were played at his trial Friday. Maxwell is accused of kidnapping his former neighbor at gunpoint and holding her captive for 12 days.

The video shows an investigator telling Maxwell that pornographic DVDs with bondage and rape scenes were found at his home after his arrest in March. Authorities had gone to his home to question him about the woman's disappearance, and she ran outside.

On the video, Maxwell acknowledges he'd fantasized about bondage but says he didn't know why he abducted the woman and drove her about 100 miles away to his Corsicana home, south of Dallas.
