Marín was convicted in 2006 and sentenced to 30 years in prison.ĭivorced and on welfare with three children, Rivera worked in real estate and took a second job at her father’s record label, Cintas Acuario, which led to her passion and career in Regional/Banda/Norteño music. They divorced in 1992 when Rivera found out Marín molested their daughter, Janney, and Rivera’s younger sister, Rosie. Rivera spoke about how Marín physically abused her because while she wanted to attend college, he wanted her to quit school and be at home “cooking and cleaning.” She said she grew up with four brothers so she knew how to fight back.
