California’s ‘Los Gatos party mom’ sentenced to 35 years in prison (The Guardian)

Shannon O’Connor, 52, was convicted of charges including child endangerment and facilitating forcible sexual assault

A judge has sentenced a San Francisco Bay Area mother to 35 years in prison after her conviction for a slew of crimes resulting from hosting drunken sex parties for young teenagers.

Widely known as the “Los Gatos party mom”, a nickname that references her hometown, 52-year-old Shannon O’Connor was convicted of four dozen crimes in March, including child endangerment, dissuading witnesses from reporting a crime and facilitating forcible sexual assault. Her sentence was the maximum allowed under state law.

O’Connor must also register as a sex offender.
