LA Influencer Allegedly Posed as Girlfriend to Rob Wealthy Men of Cash and Designer Goods, Now Faces Trial

An influencer and model from Los Angeles, Adva Lavie, 28, has been charged with several felonies after it was discovered that she posed as a companion for older men and women on social media and dating apps, then robbed them.

Lavie used to pose as a companion for older women on several social media platforms and dating apps, and then stole from them, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney (DA) Office.

Lavie, who also goes by Mia Ventura, faces up to six felony charges from the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.

On March 23, Lavie was held to answer charges of burglarizing the homes of victims she met online, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman.

Lavie is facing two counts of unauthorized use of personal identifying information, two counts of grand theft, and one count of first-degree residential burglary. All of the charges are felonies, the district attorney's office said.

Lavie has appeared in Playboy and Penthouse magazines and claims to be the first OnlyFans model, according to KTLA reports.

From 2023 to 2025, Lavie allegedly used dating apps to target victims so that she could burglarize their residence. She allegedly tricked an older man and a younger woman in the Los Angeles area into allowing her access, according to the district attorney.

Lavie is accused of posing as a girlfriend and travel companion to gain entry. Once inside the victims' residences, she allegedly stole cash, gold jewelry and high-end designer products, according to the district attorney.

In October 2025, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office issued a notice alerting detectives in Malibu and Hill Station who were looking for Lavie, wanted in connection with a string of residential burglaries throughout Los Angeles County.

A profile page for Lavie under the name Mia Ventura on the website 21st Century Penthouse stated she was once a flight attendant for an international airline.

"The charismatic cutie no longer makes her living in the air, but she still loves to travel," the profile read. "The busty brunette admits she is happiest when she is trying new things and creating special memories in interesting locales."

Lavie's arraignment is scheduled for April 6. She is out on an ankle monitor and has been ordered to stay away from her victims.
