The model and social media influencer, who lives in Los Angeles, now faces trial on multiple serious charges. The prosecutor’s office says that the woman burglarized homes belonging to people she had met through online dating and relationships.
Adva Lavie, a 27-year-old woman from Los Angeles, was ordered to face trial following a preliminary hearing in the Los Angeles County Superior Court. She faces two counts of unauthorized use of personal identifying information, two counts of grand theft, one count of first-degree residential burglary while there was a person inside, and one count of first-degree residential burglary. She has entered a not-guilty plea to all the charges.
“This ruling means the evidence in this case will now be presented before a jury. At her trial, we will prove beyond a reasonable doubt that this defendant exploited trust built through online relationships to gain access to victims’ homes and steal from them. Her ability to deceptively influence others, whether in person or online, has now come to an end. Our office is committed to holding accountable anyone who uses deception and manipulation to prey on others.”
Lavie, also known by the pseudonym Mia Ventura, allegedly targeted her victims between 2023 and 2025 in several parts of Southern California, including Westlake Village, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and Beverly Hills.
The prosecutors have claimed that Lavie allegedly posed as a romantic partner or travel companion to get access to her victims’ homes. Once inside, Lavie allegedly stole money, gold, and other luxury items.
Lavie has been allowed to walk free while wearing an ankle monitor. She has also been ordered to stay away from her alleged victims.
Her arraignment has been scheduled for April 6 in Department F of the Van Nuys Courthouse.
If found guilty of all charges, Lavie may face a maximum of 11 years and eight months in a California State Prison.
Deputy District Attorney Julia Cohn of the Van Nuys Branch has filed the case. The Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department conducted the investigation.
These charges have been brought against Lavie, and she is presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.
