The authorities claim the porn baron, pushing 40, lured a 16-year-old girl into a relationship with him and coerced her into making explicit videos.
Marin, real name Alejandro Marn Ramrez, was arrested by cops from the city's state prosecutor on Wednesday and remains in custody.
Officials say he will be charged with human trafficking and sexual exploitation of a minor.
The governor of Jalisco, Pablo Lemus, said the case was being taken incredibly seriously.
He said: "The detainee, identified as Alejandro N., is now at the disposal of the judge to face the charges against him.
"In Jalisco, we take the protection of women and minors very seriously."
Creepy-looking Marin is notorious in Mexico as the self-styled "King of Porn".
He would post daily nauseating pics of himself cosying up with women in skimpy outfits.
The sex-mad influencer often boasted of having seven girlfriends - one for each day of the week.
He regularly featured in his home-made porn vids alongside the women.

Marin acted and directed in his own productions, which he usually shared through his company Solobellezas - meaning "only beauties".
Shortly before his arrest he had posted pics from a party in Toluca, central Mexico, bragging about a new event.
The age of sexual consent in Jalisco is 16 - but Mexican federal law defines it as 18.
This is observed particularly when exploitation or abuse of power is involved.

That means any sexual activity involving an under-18 when these are at play can still result in prosecution.
If convicted, Marin could face between 10 and 25 years in jail.
Marin first hit headlines when, in his mid-twenties, he married a 17-year-old, Mia.
The pair were wedded for 12 years before announcing their split in February 2024.
He started off as a systems engineer but claims to have since grown his business into a global empire spanning Mexico, Spain, Colombia and Italy.
Marin was previously caught on camera brawling with a man on the street - as his girlfriend clung to him and begged him to stop.

Two men found guilty in deaths of 53 migrants in Texas will spend rest of their lives in prison
Two men face spending the rest of their lives in prison after a federal judge sentenced them on Friday for their roles in the deaths of 53 people – including six children – who were found dead in an abandoned tractor-trailer in Texas in 2022. A federal jury in Texas had found the two men, Felipe Orduna-Torres and Armando Gonzales-Garcia, guilty of various charges at the conclusion of a trial in March. Federal judge Orlando Garcia sentenced Torres to life in prison and Ortega to 83 years of incarceration, essentially a life sentence. The judge also imposed a $250,000 fine on each of the defendants. Five other men have also pleaded guilty for their role in the smuggling operation and are scheduled to be sentenced later. The truck was holding 64 migrants from Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador. The vehicle had a broken air conditioner and no water, which amounted to suffocating conditions in the Texas summer. Only 11 of those who were in the tractor-truck survived an ordeal that grimly illustrated the risks migrants are willing to take to cross the US border in order to escape violence or financial turmoil in their countries. The migrants had paid the smugglers between $12,000 to $15,000 each to be taken across the US border, according to the case's indictment. They were placed in the vehicle in Laredo, a town at the border, and then headed to San Antonio, which is a three-hour drive away. As temperatures rose inside the truck, the people inside screamed and banged on the walls. Many eventually passed out. When the truck was found on 27 June 2022, more than a dozen of them were taken to the hospital, where five more died. The men had known the air conditioning in the truck was broken, according to prosecutors. And they had discovered dozens of the people inside had died when they opened the back of the truck at the end of the three-hour trip. 'Three years to the day after these two smugglers and their co-conspirators left dozens of men, women and children locked in a sweltering tractor-trailer to die in the Texas summer heat, they learned that they will spend the rest of their lives locked away in a federal prison,' said a statement from the US attorney for the western district of Texas, Justin Simmons. Prosecutors said that Orduna-Torres was the leader of a group of men who smuggled people from Mexico and South America between December 2021 and June 2022. He and Gonzales-Garcia shared routes, vehicles, stash houses and transporters to 'consolidate costs, minimize risks and maximize profit', according to a statement from the justice department. Migrant smuggling has become a multibillion-dollar industry that is often run in coordination with some of Mexico's most violent cartels. While the number of migrants apprehended at the border has dropped since Donald Trump's second presidency began in January, reports have said people are still being smuggled into the US through methods and routes that are even more dangerous.

How banana worker strikes over pensions triggered a state of emergency in Panama
Workers have plunged Panama into crisis after the government announced plans to phase out a popular retirement scheme. The Latin American country has declared a state of emergency in the north western Bocas del Toro province after controversial pension reforms sparked widespread protests. The government temporarily suspended constitutional rights and imposed internet blackouts following more than a month of strikes and road blocks which led to clashes with police. Local reports suggest at least one person has died, more than 300 have been arrested and dozens injured. The protesters warn they face poverty in retirement because of a new pension law signed in March. Strikes began in April, initially led by banana workers. Bananas are one of Panama's main exports along with shrimps and copper ore. The crisis escalated earlier this month after banana giant, Chiquita, laid off all of its 6,500 workers in the country. Chiquita has said the protests cost the firm at least $75m (£55m), with almost one million boxes of bananas lost, causing 'irreversible damage'. The deep social unrest exposes the perils of reforming a generous pension system in a country with limited trust in the government. For years, Panama has tried and failed to overhaul its defined benefit scheme in order to tackle a deficit now worth over $650m. As far back as 2006, the International Monetary Fund warned the scheme was facing crisis due to an ageing population and the level of benefits which it described as 'among the highest in Latin America' – and generous even by European standards. Under the scheme, the pension contributions of the working population fund the benefits of current retirees, rather than their own future pensions. Both private and public sector employees are covered by the system. Those who have made 20 years of contributions are eligible for 60pc of their average monthly earnings in retirement based on their highest paid 10 years. But this system has become unsustainable due to an ageing population. The number of over 65s in Panama has tripled in the last three decades from just over 100,000 at the end of the 20th century to more than 400,000 today. This means a growing number of retirees are dependent on the pension contributions of a shrinking pool of workers. To stop the scheme from sinking further into the red, Panama created a new mixed pension system in 2008. But without further reform, the deficit was still predicted to reach almost 4pc of GDP by 2045. In March, President Jose Raul Mulino signed into law reforms merging the two systems into a state-managed defined contribution scheme. Under the reforms, employee contributions will remain unchanged at 9.75pc of wages, employer contributions will rise gradually from 12.25pc to 15.25pc by 2029 and the government will pay almost $1bn a year to address any shortfalls. In addition, workers are promised a minimum pension of about $145 dollars a month. The government has claimed this is generous compared to the universal basic pensions available in other countries in Latin America. But workers have said the pension reforms will leave them in poverty in retirement. This is because their income will depend on investment performance as well as their own contributions. Mariano Thompson, a Latin America pensions expert, of insurance company WTW, said: 'An individual account system requires consistent contributions and reduced volatility in both national and global financial markets to ensure a decent return, as the benefit depends on the funds accumulated by retirement.' Many Panamanian workers are employed in the informal sector for at least a portion of their working career, potentially limiting the number of contributions they can make, and therefore, the size of their pension pot. Low trust in the government is another reason why the reform has triggered social unrest. Mr Thompson said: 'While the government justifies the reforms due to the growing deficit of the system, union protests are driven by a lack of trust in the government's ability to fulfil its promised contributions and minimum benefits.' He continued: 'These groups do not trust individual account schemes and would prefer a defined benefit model, which they regard as a solidarity-based system.' Workers are also suspicious about future retirement age increases, he added. The reform maintained the retirement age at 62 for men and 57 for women – but scheduled a review in six years' time. Pension reform is not the only thing motivating the protests. President Mulino has become increasingly unpopular for signing a Memorandum of Understanding, which gives US military vessels free passage and allows US soldiers to train on Panamanian soil. The government has insisted this does not impact Panama's sovereignty or the neutrality deal. But it has provoked outrage from Panamanians who accuse the president of cosying up to President Donald Trump, who has previously threatened to seize back control of the Panama Canal.

Remains of TikTok star are found in Peru
The remains of Fabiola Alejandra Caicedo Pina have been identified through her distinctive tattoos after being discovered in Peru. The TikTok star was located while workers were conducting a routine inspection of the La Atarjea plant, reported InfoBae, an Argentinian outlet. She had been dismembered and was discovered at the treatment plant in Lima, Peru on June 9. Pieces of Caicedo's body were found in bags outside the plant. Caicedo posted her last TikTok on June 5 and she had a tattoo on her arm which included the phrase, 'Love me for who I am' in English. Another tattoo with the words 'Paula Sophia' was found on her torso. On June 15, more bodily remains were found. As of June 19, some body parts were still missing. Authorities are unsure what caused her death although strangulation is suspected. Two main theories are circulating among police about who could be behind Caicedo's murder. One theory is that the woman was caught up in Peru's human trafficking trade. In recent weeks, multiple young women have been found dead in the Lima area or in the Rimac River, some of them zipped up into suitcases. Police also believe that Caicedo could have been killed by people who wanted revenge for the death of her ex-boyfriend, who died in 2022 under mysterious circumstances. In 2022, Caicedo left her home country of Venezuela at just 16 years old. She was accompanied by her then-boyfriend, Mayner Yoffrey Gimenez Castrillo, who was 21 years older than her. Castrillo died months after the two moved to Lima together, which led to his family suspecting that Caicedo was involved somehow. Various family members publicly accused Caicedo, then a minor, of conspiring with a new romantic partner to kill Castrillo. Police first believed that Castrillo was beaten to death but now think it could have been a suicide. The case remains open three years later. Caicedo has never been formally investigated for her ex-boyfriend's death and continued her lifestyle of working at nightclubs and bars. Police suspect that on the night before Caicedo's death, she was lured away from a party under false pretenses. Cigarette burns on her feet and legs have led police to believe that she may have also been tortured. Her remains were thought to be dumped into the Rimac River, where they later ended up at the water treatment plant. No arrests have been made and no suspects have been named in Caicedo's murder.
