It is further alleged that under the alias ‘the Nun’ on social media, the mother-of-two lured the young girls with gifts such as Tiffany jewelry. The target age range of victims was 14 to 15.

When she was arrested in 2021 in Ada County, Idaho, was living at the time, O’Connor had 12 underage ‘guests’ living in her home.

Shannon O’Connor has been held in jail without bail since her arrest in October 2021, when she was arraigned on 39 charges, including felony child endangerment, child molestation, sexual assault and contributing to the delinquency of a minor 

After her initial arrest in October 2021, O’Connor was extradited October 19 from Boise, Idaho, to Santa Clara County, California, and later arraigned on 39 charges, including felony child endangerment, child molestation, sexual assault and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. 
She was denied bail and has since been held in jail. Furthermore, 15 protective orders were issued barring her from contacting the victims, including her own child.
With the latest development she is now indicted on 63 charges by a grand jury in Santa Clara, after fresh allegations including drunken joyriding and aiding the sexual penetration of an intoxicated minor were added to the charge sheet.
In May a judge offered O’Connor a 17-year sentence for a guilty plea, but the slew of new charges could leave her facing decades behind bars.
Reacting to the extra charges the mother of one of the teenage victims said, ‘She’s going to see more time, which is my end goal’.

‘She’s a menace to society and is clearly unwell. The more that comes out about her predatory ways, the better.’
Some of the alleged parties took place at O’Connor’s mansion in Los Gatos as her husband was away, while others were organized at Airbnb locations in Lake Tahoe and Santa Cruz.
O’Connor was very selective about the girls allowed at her parties, often rejecting them if they didn’t meet her standards.
‘She would reject girls as guests by saying they weren’t ‘pretty enough’ or didn’t ‘put out’,’ court documents state.

Prosecutors allege she bought beer, vodka, whiskey and other liquor and encouraged the teens, who were mostly 14 and 15, to drink to the point of unconsciousness.
She also told them to keep the gatherings a secret and, on several occasions, helped teens sneak out of their homes in the middle of the night to attend them, according to court documents.
At a December 2020 party, O’Connor allegedly handed a condom to a boy and pushed him into a room with an intoxicated girl. Both were minors.
The girl escaped and locked herself in the bathroom, authorities said in court filings.

O’Connor rejected a judge’s plea offer for a 17-year sentence in May. However, the new charges could mean a lengthier stay – decades behind bars, if she is convicted

During a New Year’s Eve party at her home with about five 14-year-olds, O’Connor allegedly watched and laughed as a drunk teen sexually battered a young girl in bed, authorities allege.
In another case, she allegedly brought a drunk teen into a bedroom at her home where he sexually assaulted an intoxicated 14-year-old girl.
That girl told investigators that at another party she was so drunk she almost drowned in a hot tub, according to the court filings.
O’Connor was arrested in 2021 in Ada County, Idaho, where she was living at the time with 12 underage guests.
An examination of her phone revealed searches for ‘Good books with young sex,’ ‘hot 16 (year) old teenage girls,’ ‘prettiest 16 year old girl,’ and ‘t*** and a**’.
The alleged victims included male and female Los Gatos High School students, including O’Connor’s own two sons.

After luring the youngsters to her home she allegedly ‘facilitated sexual encounters’ between minors, both consensual and non-consensual, while some victims reported that she watched as they were sexually assaulted.
O’Connor’s husband reportedly filed for divorce earlier this year, seemingly unaware of her actions.
Upon learning of the police investigation in 2021, O’Connor fled to Idaho with her sons, where she conducted further Google searches over arrest warrants, statutes of limitations and legal consequences.
They included searches such as: ‘can I get prosecuted in California if I live in Idaho,’ ‘how do I know if there is a warrant for my arrest,’ ‘supplying alcohol to minors in a private home’ and ‘statute of limitations California,’ according to court documents.
She also allegedly attempted to convince her 15-year-old son to not cooperate with investigators.
O’Connor’s defense is likely to argue she believed the sexual encounters among the teenagers were consensual, while prosecutors will argue that she knew what she was doing.
Seventeen teenagers testified to the grand jury before it increased the number of felonies O’Connor faces from 12 to 20, and the number of misdemeanors from 27 to 43.

O’Connor claims she has been assaulted by inmates during her incarceration at the Elmwood Correctional Facility in Santa Clara

O’Connor, who denies the charges, was refused bail and ordered to remain in custody at the Elmwood Correctional Facility in Santa Clara, where she has been held since her arrest.  Her time in jail has not been hassle free either.
In one incident in February, O’Connor was attacked by a pack of five female inmates inside the all-female wing of the Elmwood Correctional Facility, a medium-security jail in Milpitas, California.
