Between both victims, Marin committed several sexual assaults over a span of many years, sometimes multiple times a week, The DA's office said the jury also found true substantial sexual conduct.

Marin's arrest came after a friend of one of the girls, who was in junior high at the time, learned about the abuse from the victim.

The district attorney's office said the friend delivered a note to the school social worker the following year detailing what was going on. The social worker then notified authorities of the accusations.
