A January court hearing is scheduled to consider the evidence against a Los Gatos woman charged with arranging for her teen son to host parties full of liquor and sex for his underaged high school classmates.
Shannon O’Connor, 48, pleaded not guilty Monday to the 39 charges she faces, including felony child endangerment and misdemeanors for furnishing liquor to minors, child molestation and sexual battery related to parties she allegedly arranged or hosted for her older son when he was a Los Gatos High School freshman.
The court set a Jan. 23 date for a preliminary hearing in which prosecutors present evidence against the accused and a judge decides if it’s sufficient to warrant a trial. It is often the first opportunity for the defense to challenge evidence against the accused. According to court filings by prosecutors in the bombshell case that rocked the South Bay town, O’Connor arranged for the teens to sneak out of their homes at night without telling their parents.
