Trino Marin, whose real name is José Trinidad Marín, is the ex-husband of the late singer Jenni Rivera. He was convicted of sexual assault and abuse against his daughters and his sister-in-law. As a result, he was sentenced to more than 30 years in prison.
José Trinidad Marín was married to Jenni Rivera from 1984 until their divorce in 1992. Their relationship ended amid allegations of physical and emotional abuse. Years after their divorce, in 1997, allegations of sexual abuse surfaced when his daughter, Jacqie Campos, and his sister-in-law, Rosie Rivera, came forward with accusations against him. The allegations were serious, including continuous abuse of his daughters and his sister-in-law when they were minors.
The legal proceedings against Marín were lengthy, and it wasn’t until 2006 that he was arrested after evading law enforcement for several years. In 2007, he was tried and found guilty of sexual assault and abuse. The charges included continuous sexual abuse and lewd acts upon a child. The court sentenced him to 31 years in prison without the possibility of parole.
The case received significant media attention, partly due to Jenni Rivera’s fame. Rivera, who became a successful singer and television personality, was known for her music and her advocacy for women’s rights, which made the revelations about her ex-husband’s actions even more shocking to the public. Jenni Rivera passed away in a tragic plane crash in 2012, but her legacy continues to influence her fans and the Latin music industry. Meanwhile, Trino Marin remains incarcerated, serving his sentence for his crimes.
