Jenni Rivera’s former husband, José Trinidad Marín, was convicted of 6 of the 9 charges against him for allegedly sexually abusing the two daughters he had with the singer, in addition to her younger sister. According to Rivera, Trinidad Marín sexually abused of her two daughters, Janney & Jacquelin and Rivera’s sister Rosie, 25. Despite the trauma of the trial they’ve had to endure and the severity of the charges, Trinidad Marín, 42, managed to stay on the run for 9 years and was captured in April of 2006, but was released on bond in October. The 37-year-old artist was fearful & angered that the man with whom she had an 8-year relationship would leave Mexico to elude authorities.[citation needed]
