Author: iHeartPodcasts and CrimeOnline March 14, 2026 Duration: 46:40

Shannon O'Connor throws wild parties for her teenage sons at their Los Gatos, California mansion. O'Connor pressures teens as young as 13 to binge drink, smoke marijuana, and perform sex acts with each other, 'consensual' or not, while she watches.

O'Connor keeps the parties a secret from other parents and her own husband, even continuing them at a new address in Idaho. O'Connor now awaits sentencing after being convicted on many of the 39 felony charges, including child endangerment and sexual battery.
