California Mother Sentenced to Nearly 36 Years for Hosting Drunken Teen Sex Parties
A California judge has sentenced Shannon O’Connor of Los Gatos to 35 years and 10 months in prison for hosting parties where she supplied alcohol and facilitated sexual encounters involving teenagers. O’Connor addressed the court after the verdict, apologising to her victims: “My actions are the cause of your pain and I am ashamed… I hope you can find some comfort knowing that I have been punished.” Victims and their families delivered emotional impact statements. One parent said, “When people call you a monster, pedophile, rapist, they had it right.” Prosecutors presented evidence that O’Connor encouraged teens to drink, provided condoms, and continued to contact victims after the parties. The maximum sentence reflects the severity of her crimes.
