LOS GATOS, CALIFORNIA: The victims of Californian 'party mom' Shannon O'Connor have labeled her as a "manipulative narcissist with no conscience." The California woman is suspected of hosting sleazy sex parties for her 15-year-old son and his friends, and the alleged victims say she ruined their lives.
O'Connor is charged with 39 counts of felony child endangerment and sexual violence after allegedly luring 14- and 15-year-olds to her $4.7 million Los Gatos home, according to DailyMail. Some of the alleged victims were as young as 13 years old. Investigators claim that the 47-year-old would push the teenagers to engage in excessive drinking and illicit sexual activity for her personal pleasure. The victims said that while they were freshmen at Los Gatos High School, O'Connor would make friends with them through her children and later stay in touch via social media.

'I will never have the life I once had'
A victim who went by the name 'Jane Doe 8' stated that O'Connor "tore my life apart," according to DailyMail. She shared that she has suffered and had to deal with the reputation of being "the girl that got raped. I will spend my high school years with this cloud over me."
Jane Doe 8 stated, "Shannon doesn't have a conscience. She is a con-artist. I will never have the life I once had. And neither should she." She also experienced an increase in stalking on social media, at her place of work after O'Connor was initially accused and her family moved to the same Idaho town as him.
In addition, Jane Doe 8 experienced a pattern of stalking on social media, at her place of work, and because O'Connor and her family had relocated to the same Idaho town as Jane Doe 8 had relocated after being initially charged.
Jane Doe 8 said, "Shannon moved to my town in Idaho. I got 27 calls with no caller ID's. It was Shannon breathing into the phone, haunting me. I can't even describe how terrified I was, I thought I was going to get killed." The mother of 'Jane Doe 4' stated that O'Connor continued to host parties after the family relocated to Idaho.
'She's a very sick individual and a sexual predator'
Jane Doe 4's mother said, "She's a very sick individual and a sexual predator. She taught our daughter how to drink like a rock star. She was only 14, had never had alcohol and never had a boyfriend. It's disgusting to me," according to DailyMail. The victim's mother stated that as a result, her daughter has struggled with depression and self-harm.
Another victim, 'Jane Doe 9', said that one night she found O'Connor following her in her car without turning on the headlights. She did this after obtaining a restraining order. The victim said, "Her actions are bizarre. She is a manipulator and a narcissist. She continues to show signs of no remorse," according to DailyMail.
Jane Doe 2 chose not to testify because she wanted to "forget this ever happened," but her mother did, according to DailyMail. "She's not here because she doesn't want Shannon to own one more minute of her life," the mother said.
"My daughter is not here because she's busy doing what kids in their junior year should be doing: studying for AP tests, the SAT's, getting her prom dress fitted, dreaming about colleges," Jane Doe 2's mother concluded.
