The California mother accused of hosting depraved sex parties for her teenage son conducted disturbing online searches for “attractive 16 (year-old) teens” and downloaded images of scantily clad young teens, according to new reports.
Shannon O’Connor, 48, conducted steamy Google searches for lewd youth content on her cell phone, which was confiscated after she was arrested in 2021 for hosting alcohol-filled teen sex parties.
The so-called “party mom,” who will have a court hearing next month, organized sick binges for her 15-year-old son’s friends and classmates at Los Gatos High School in Los Gatos, California, during which the boys would be harassed . with alcohol until some vomited and others were sexually abused while O’Connor watched and laughed, according to court documents.
A new report from KRON4 News said O’Connor’s cell phone contained evidence of her Google searches for things including “good books with young sex,” along with several videos of naked underage girls, including TikTok.

“The videos show girls who look like minors. They are dressed in revealing clothing. “There is no evidence that the girls in these videos were personally known to the defendant,” according to the documents cited by KRON4.
The suspect allegedly lured girls to her home by hosting parties and “facilitated sexual encounters, some consensual and some non-consensual,” prosecutors allegedly wrote.
The victims reported that O’Connor watched as they were sexually assaulted.

“The evidence admitted at the preliminary hearing will show that the crimes alleged above were committed by the defendant as a result of sexual compulsion and for the purpose of sexual gratification,” Deputy District Attorney Rebekah Wise wrote, the news outlet reported.
O’Conner “helped minors run away from home in the middle of the night without their parents’ knowledge. He would communicate via Snapchat or text messages, pick them up…and take them to his house,” according to Wise.
“He got the children in his care so drunk that many children vomited, couldn’t stand up, and even lost consciousness. “She urged them to have sexual relations with each other,” the prosecutor added.

O’Connor was “very opinionated” about the girls who were allowed to attend her parties, according to prosecutors.
“She would reject girls as guests saying they weren’t ‘pretty enough’ or ‘angry enough,’” the documents obtained by KRON4 state.
O’Connor also allegedly let minors drive his truck in the school parking lot.
During a night of drinking with O’Connor and some teenagers in December 2020, a boy was knocked unconscious and suffered a concussion after falling off the back of a van.
O’Connor told police called by a passerby that he would take the teens home and then looked up “what to do in case of a teen concussion” and “a skull fracture,” KRON4 reported.

O’Connor’s husband, Robert Amaral, was completely unaware of his wife’s alleged activities, authorities said, and reportedly filed for divorce earlier this year.
“This woman destroyed my life. I have suffered and had to deal with the reputation of being ‘the girl who was raped’. I will live my high school years with this cloud hanging over me,” one girl told a judge during a court hearing in April, the outlet reported.
“Shannon has no conscience. She is a scammer. I will never have the life I once had. And she shouldn’t do it either,” the alleged victim added.
O’Connor moved with her children to Eagle, Idaho, when she learned that Los Gatos police had begun investigating her in 2021.
He reportedly Googled questions about statutes of limitations, laws prohibiting the provision of alcohol to minors and out-of-state prosecutions, KRON4 reported, citing court records.

When O’Connor was arrested in Idaho in October 2021, police said they found her at her home with 12 underage teenagers who had slept overnight, the outlet reported.
Her lawyers will likely try to argue that she believed the sexual contact between the teens was consensual, the documents state.
“To combat this argument, it is necessary to present evidence of how many times the defendant saw children being sexually abused and still continued to encourage the assaults,” Wise allegedly wrote.
O’Connor, who was attacked by other inmates in October 2022, faces charges including endangering the health of a child, sexual assault, molesting or sexually abusing a child, endangering a child and providing alcohol to a person under 21 years of age.
The mother, who has a preliminary hearing on Nov. 6, has pleaded not guilty to 39 charges, including felony child endangerment and sexual assault, filed by the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office.
His preliminary hearing will begin Nov. 6 at the Santa Clara County Hall of Justice.
