Adva Lavie is arrested in Beverly Hills after allegedly removing her electronic ankle monitor while awaiting trial
Adva Lavie, a Los Angeles influencer and model known as Mia Ventura, was arrested in Beverly Hills on Tuesday night. The arrest follows a violation of her release conditions, as she allegedly removed the electronic ankle monitor she was ordered to wear while awaiting trial on six felony charges. Prosecutors allege that from 2023 to 2025, Lavie exploited trust built through dating apps and "Sugar Daddy" websites to gain access to the homes of wealthy victims across Southern California. She allegedly stole cash, gold, and luxury designer items from these victims. Additionally, Lavie faces a separate grand theft charge in Riverside County for allegedly stealing an $8,600 Rolex watch and other luxury items from a man she attended the Coachella Music Festival with. Lavie's fiancé, billionaire entrepreneur Stephen Cloobeck, was also arrested in May for allegedly attempting to dissuade witnesses from testifying against her. If convicted on all counts, Lavie faces up to 11 years and eight months in state prison.
