Teen Witnesses Detail Sex, Drinking and Violence at Alleged Los Gatos 'Party Mom' Gatherings

Prosecutors describe a Snapchat-driven outreach pattern that drew 14-year-olds into alcohol-soaked house parties.

Overview

  • In Santa Clara County court, Jane Doe 6 testified the gatherings fostered a misogynistic environment where boys groped girls openly.
  • Court documents assert O’Connor watched and laughed as a boy punched and kicked 14-year-old Jane Doe 4 in her kitchen while she drank champagne.
  • Prosecutors say O’Connor leveraged a “cool mom” image and her son’s football status to message freshmen on Snapchat without parents’ knowledge.
  • Teen accounts described parties up to four or five times a week with O’Connor as the only adult present and frequent blackouts and vomiting.
  • Parents told jurors they later saw bruises, smelled alcohol on their daughters’ breath, and noticed marked behavioral changes; O’Connor has pleaded not guilty to 63 charges from 2020–21.
