There was “no escape” from boozy bashes thrown by notorious “Los Gatos Party Mom” Shannon O’Connor where teenage girls were treated like “sex objects,” an alleged victim claimed in court.
The girl, who testified at O’Connor’s trial under the name “Jane Doe 6,” recounted how the 50-year-old mom looked on as teens engaged in lewd sex acts inside her lavish $4 million San Jose mansion.
“There was no escape,” she said on the stand, according to KRON4.
Most of O’Connor’s guests were 14-year-old freshmen from Los Gatos High School, where boys treated girls like “sex objects,” Doe 6 testified.
“I was assaulted, and my friends were assaulted multiple times,” she told the jury.
She revealed that her 14-year-old best friend fell into depression and alcoholism after enduring sexual and physical abuse by boys at O’Connor’s house.
Deputy District Attorney Joanna Lee described the parties as “chaotic, alcohol-soaked benders.”
“The defendant groomed the children … normalized sex, encouraged hookups and sexual behavior,” she told the court.

Prosecutors claim O’Connor leveraged her own son and boosted her image as “the cool mom” to befriend freshmen, secretly messaging them on Snapchat daily.
The “Party Mom” was motivated by “her own sexual arousal or gratification,” Lee wrote in court documents.
O’Connor is on trial on 63 counts for allegedly throwing the booze and sex-fueled gatherings in the 2020-21 school year, supplying students with copious amounts of alcohol, and watching them perform sex acts for her own gratification.
She has pleaded not guilty to all charges
