Bail hearing delayed for Bay Area mom charged in teen sex parties
A judge will now wait until Feb. 3 before deciding whether to grant bail to a Los Gatos mother charged with organizing drunken sex parties for teens.

LOS GATOS, Calif. (KGO) -- A judge will wait several more weeks before deciding whether to grant bail to a Los Gatos mother charged with organizing drunken sex parties for her son and other teens.

A bail hearing for 47-year-old Shannon O'Connor was continued to Feb. 3.

Her lawyers argue she's no threat to the public and there's no justification for why she has not been granted bail.
