Additional victims delivered emotional statements in a San Jose courtroom Wednesday as sentencing proceedings continued for a Los Gatos mother convicted of hosting alcohol-fueled and sexually charged gatherings involving teenagers.

Shannon O’Connor, also known as Shannon Bruga, faces a possible prison sentence exceeding 30 years after a jury convicted her in March on 16 felony counts. During Wednesday’s hearing, the 52-year-old sat with her head lowered and avoided looking at the victims as they addressed the court.

One victim, identified as Jane Doe 12, said she was 13 years old at the time of the incidents. Fighting back tears, she described the lasting emotional impact the experience has had on her life.

“I still cry myself to sleep because of how you treated me,” she told the court.

Another victim, now attending college, chose to publicly use her first name during her statement.

“I’m angry all the time,” she said. “I wish I could go back and comfort my younger self.”

One victim referenced O’Connor’s reported experience while incarcerated, saying learning she had been assaulted in jail “was one of the best days” of their life.

Seven people — including four young women and three mothers — addressed the court Wednesday, emphasizing that the trauma they experienced continues to affect them years later.

“I believe in redemption, but I truly want the worst for you,” one young woman said in her statement.

O’Connor was convicted on 16 felony charges, including 13 counts of child endangerment, two counts of sexual penetration, and one count of discouraging a witness. By Wednesday afternoon, more than a dozen victims and parents had spoken during the sentencing proceedings, with additional statements expected Thursday.

Legal analyst Steven Clark said the testimony could heavily influence the judge’s sentencing decision.

“These victims are making it clear that the damage hasn’t ended and they are still suffering,” Clark said. “That can weigh significantly when the court considers punishment and public safety.”

It remains uncertain whether O’Connor will personally address the court before sentencing. Clark noted that an expression of remorse could affect how the judge views the case.

“Showing contrition toward the victims and the court could matter,” he said. “I would expect she may speak before sentencing is finalized.”
