May 28 (UPI) -- A 52-year-old California woman convicted of hosting drunken house parties for young teenagers has drawn a 35-year prison sentence, prosecutors said Thursday.
Shannon O'Connor of Los Gatos, Calif., dubbed the "Party Mom," was handed the maximum sentence on child abuse convictions during a hearing at Santa Clara County Court in San Jose.
Prosecutors said O'Connor procured vodka, whiskey and condoms for the 14- and 15-year-olds who attended parties at her home over a two-year period and encouraged them to drink to the point of passing out.
They alleged she warned the victims not to tell their parents about the parties or she could go to jail, and at one handed an teenager a condom and pushed him into a room with an intoxicated minor.
