Shannon O'Connor, also known as the Los Gatos 'Party Mom,' was just convicted in March, 2026, on 58 of 63 charges, including child endangerment, sexual battery, and furnishing alcohol to minors. The crimes occurred mostly during the Covid pandemic, when kids in her wealthy San Francisco Bay Area town were isolated at home. O'Connor was accused of hosting parties, providing teens with excessive alcohol and drugs, and pressuring them into sexual activity while they were intoxicated.
It's the latest in a long line of adult predators preying on teens. It also raises questions about teen drinking and their parents' roles. To discuss this case and others like it, we have a special guest: Florida Man J. McDonald, who last joined us to discuss the Gainesville Ripper case.
