A Los Angeles model who promoted herself as an OnlyFans creator is facing multiple felony charges after prosecutors say she used dating apps and social media to target older men, gain access to their homes, and steal cash and luxury goods.
Prosecutors allege that 28-year-old Adva Lavie, also known as Mia Ventura, cultivated online relationships with older men and other victims between 2023 and 2025 before burglarizing their residences in the Los Angeles area.
According to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, she is accused of posing as a girlfriend or travel companion to enter homes and then stealing cash, gold, and high-end designer items, as per People.
Lavie, who has appeared in Playboy and Penthouse and has advertised herself as Israel's first top OnlyFans model, now faces six felony counts, including first-degree residential burglary and grand theft, authorities said. The charges also include two counts of unauthorized use of personal identifying information, according to the district attorney.
Investigators say Lavie met many alleged victims through dating apps and other social media platforms, typically targeting affluent or older men but also younger women in some cases. Detectives believe she used the same basic approach in each incident, building trust online before meeting in person and later accessing victims' homes.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department previously issued a special bulletin naming Lavie as a suspect in a series of residential burglaries across the county. In that alert, authorities said she contacted victims through dating platforms, presented herself as a companion, and then burglarized their homes after gaining their confidence, Local12 reported.
Detectives say at least 10 victims have reported stolen valuables, but they have received many more calls from people who believe they were targeted or victimized. Reported losses include cash, credit cards, jewelry, and other items that are easy to conceal and carry, according to sheriff's officials.
Lavie was previously arrested and later released on bail in a separate case, and investigators say some of those earlier allegations are similar to the current charges. Authorities are still working to determine the full scope of the alleged scheme, which they say may span multiple jurisdictions.
Law enforcement agencies are asking anyone who believes they may have been victimized by Lavie, regardless of age or gender, to contact detectives. Officials say potential victims will be treated confidentially as the investigation and prosecution move forward, according to Yahoo News.
