A South Bay mother accused of hosting alcohol-fueled parties for minors was back in court Friday.
Shannon O'Connor, who has been held without bail for more than a year after her arrest, may be considering a plea deal. She previously pleaded not guilty to a total of 39 misdemeanor and felony charges. She was denied bail.
Earlier this week, O'Connor's attorneys asked a judge how much time she might face if she pleaded guilty to all charges, which include sexual battery, child endangerment and providing alcohol to minors.
During the hearing Friday, some victims made statements detailing what happened at the parties hosted by O'Connor, with one teen saying they witnessed a fellow party goer passed out from alcohol. One parent told the court her daughter learned to "drink like a rock star."

Also Friday morning, the judge indicated what's next in the case, scheduling an informal meeting with the DA's office and the defense for May 5 to hear sentencing recommendations. Then on May 16, that recommendation will be presented to O'Connor in court.
Last month, O'Connor was sent to the hospital after she was injured in an attack at Elmwood Correctional Facility in Milpitas, according to court records. Five women were charged in that case.
