LOS GATOS, CALIFORNIA: A California mother was deemed a "dangerous predator" after she was accused of hosting secret parties where she watched her teen sons’ friends having drunken sex. The woman, Shannon Marie O'Connor, 47, faces a whopping 39 criminal counts of felony child endangerment and sexual battery, with some of the victims as young as 13. She faces more than 20 years in prison if convicted on all counts.

The twisted mother would bait children into sex and drinking in her home at the time in Los Gatos. Shannon Marie O'Connor was first taken into custody in Idaho and then arrested in San Jose after her alleged crimes were uncovered in October 2021. In a recent court hearing on Friday, April 21, lawyers revealed the 47-year-old plans to plead guilty, which could land her a prison term of only eight years or less, reports DailyMail. The victims of the "party mom," however, are demanding she is handed the maximum sentence as they accused her of ‘ruining their lives’. Below let’s take a look at the whole list of charges Shannon Marie O'Connor is facing.
