California 'Party Mom' Shannon O'Connor pleaded not guilty Monday to 63 counts alleging she threw booze-fueled teen sex parties at her Los Gatos home.
So-called California 'Party Mom' Shannon O'Connor pleaded not guilty on Monday to 63 counts, including 20 felonies and 43 misdemeanors, alleging that she supplied alcohol to minors and encouraged them to have sex at parties she held in her multimillion-dollar Los Gatos home in 2020. The charges filed against O'Connor, 49, rose from 39 counts filed last month to 63 in a new grand jury indictment filed last week after hearing testimony from 17 victims.
In August 2020, O'Connor allegedly rented a cottage for her son's birthday and invited an estimated 12 teens to party there for the weekend while she was the only adult present. The rental owner reported more than $9,000 in damages to the property after the party, according to prosecutors. The 'Party Mom' allegedly leveraged social media apps, such as Snapchat, to organize the parties and ask the minors what alcohol they wanted.
In or around December 2020, at a party hosted at O'Connor's home, the defendant allegedly gave a condom to an intoxicated boy and 'pushed him into a bedroom' with an inebriated 14-year-old girl. The girl 'was afraid, ran, and locked herself inside a bathroom,' according to court documents.
