JALISCO, Mexico — Mexican authorities have arrested a 37-year-old adult film producer on charges of human trafficking and sexual exploitation of a minor, according to state prosecutors.
Alejandro Marín Ramírez, who operates under the stage name Alex Marin and calls himself the “King of Porn,” was detained Wednesday by investigators from the Jalisco State Prosecutor’s Office. He remains in custody pending formal charges.
Prosecutors allege that Marín lured a 16-year-old girl into a relationship and subsequently coerced her into producing explicit videos. The case highlights ongoing concerns about exploitation in Mexico’s adult entertainment industry.
Jalisco Governor Pablo Lemus confirmed the arrest during a press briefing, emphasizing the state’s commitment to protecting vulnerable populations. “The detainee, identified as Alejandro N., is now at the disposal of the judge to face the charges against him,” Lemus stated. “In Jalisco, we take the protection of women and minors very seriously.”
Marín has built a controversial public profile in Mexico through his adult film company Solobellezas, which translates to “only beauties.” The producer regularly shared content featuring multiple female partners across social media platforms, often claiming to maintain relationships with seven different women simultaneously.
The case involves complex legal considerations regarding Mexico’s age of consent laws. While Jalisco state law sets the age of consent at 16, federal legislation defines it as 18, particularly in cases involving exploitation or abuse of power. Legal experts indicate that any sexual activity involving individuals under 18 can result in federal prosecution when exploitation is alleged.
If convicted on the current charges, Marín could face a prison sentence ranging from 10 to 25 years under Mexican federal law.
Court records show this is not Marín’s first involvement with underage relationships. In his mid-twenties, he married a 17-year-old identified as Mia, with whom he remained married for 12 years before their separation in February 2024.
Marín initially worked as a systems engineer before transitioning to adult entertainment. He has claimed his business operations extend internationally, with activities reported in Spain, Colombia, and Italy in addition to Mexico.
The arrest follows a period of increased scrutiny of Mexico’s adult entertainment industry, with authorities focusing particularly on cases involving potential exploitation of minors and human trafficking.
Prior to his arrest, Marín had been active on social media, recently posting images from an event in Toluca, central Mexico. His online presence typically featured luxury lifestyle content and promotional material for his adult entertainment ventures.
The case is being closely monitored by child protection advocates who have called for stronger enforcement of existing laws regarding the exploitation of minors in commercial sexual content.
Prosecutors have not released additional details about the investigation, citing the ongoing nature of the case and the involvement of a minor victim.
