LA influencer accused of robbing wealthy people she met on dating apps arrested again

LOS ANGELES – Social media influencer and OnlyFans model Adva Lavie, also known as Mia Ventura, was arrested in Beverly Hills while out on bail for a high-profile dating app burglary scheme, court and jail records show. 

What we know:

Lavie, 28, was arrested around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday by Beverly Hills police near North Cannon Boulevard and Brighton Way in connection with a new theft allegation out of Riverside County. 

According to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, Lavie also faces a misdemeanor violation of a court order after she allegedly removed her ankle monitor. 

On Wednesday, a judge blocked Lavie’s release and ordered her to be held without bail. 

A bail hearing is scheduled for Friday morning in Van Nuys. 

The backstory:

In March, Lavie pleaded not guilty and was ordered to stand trial on six felony counts, including two counts of grand theft, two counts of unauthorized use of personal identifying information, one count of first-degree residential burglary, and one count of first-degree residential burglary with a person present. 

Prosecutors allege that between 2023 and 2025, Lavie cultivated relationships through dating apps and “Sugary Daddy” websites to pose as a girlfriend and travel companion, targeting wealthy older men and younger women in Westlake Village, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and Beverly Hills to allegedly steal cash, gold, credit cards, and designer items. 

She pleaded not guilty and was released from custody with an electronic ankle monitor.
