If you thought your last Tinder date was rough, take some comfort in the fact that it probably didn’t end with a felony grand theft warrant. That’s the situation Los Angeles model and OnlyFans influencer Adva Lavie, also known online as Mia Ventura, now finds herself in after a judge ordered her held without bail this past week.

Lavie was already awaiting trial in Los Angeles County on six felony counts tied to an alleged multi-year scheme involving dating apps and so-called “Sugar Daddy” websites, FOX LA stated. Prosecutors say she used those platforms between 2023 and 2025 to build relationships with people, then used the access to get into their homes and walk off with cash, gold, credit cards, and designer goods.

Things escalated this week when Beverly Hills police arrested her again, this time on a warrant out of Riverside County connected to an alleged theft near Coachella, reported ABC 7 Eyewitness News. She’s also facing a misdemeanor charge for allegedly removing her court-ordered ankle monitor.

It’s a wild story with a lot of moving parts, so let’s break down what’s actually happened, what’s still unknown, and what comes next.

What She’s Accused Of Doing

According to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, Lavie posed as a girlfriend or travel companion to gain entry into the homes of wealthy men across Westlake Village, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and Los Angeles. The Riverside County case adds another layer.

An arrest warrant from the Indio Police Department alleges a man invited her to his home last year to attend the Coachella Music & Arts Festival, and she later made off with an $8,600 Rolex, a pair of $700 Louis Vuitton sunglasses, and an $1,800 Louis Vuitton cardholder. That’s a rough way to remember a festival weekend.

Why She’s Being Held Without Bail

The bigger issue for Lavie right now isn’t just the new charges, it’s what a judge described as repeated violations of her release conditions. She had already been out on bail with an ankle monitor and a court order to stay away from alleged victims.

Investigators say the monitor was missing when she was arrested this week, and a judge previously found she’d applied for a second Israeli passport after her original one was confiscated. Put those two together and it’s not hard to see why a judge decided she was a flight risk.

The Cloobeck Connection

There’s also a second name tied up in this case: her fiancé, real estate billionaire Stephen Cloobeck. He was arrested in May and charged with witness tampering, accused of trying to influence witnesses connected to Lavie’s case.

He’s due back in court on August 7, while Lavie’s next hearing is set for August 10, where her attorneys have indicated they may pursue a mental health diversion program.
