LA Influencer Ordered to Trial for Dating App Burglaries

A Los Angeles model and social media influencer has been ordered to stand trial on six felony charges for allegedly using dating apps to build relationships and burglarize the homes of wealthy individuals across the region. Adva Lavie, 28, known online as Mia Ventura and a former Penthouse feature model with a presence on OnlyFans, was held to answer on March 23 in Los Angeles County Superior Court for crimes committed between 2023 and 2025.

Prosecutors from the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office allege that Lavie targeted victims, including older men and younger women, in areas such as Westlake Village, West Hollywood, Los Angeles and Beverly Hills. According to court documents, she connected with them through social media and dating platforms, posing as a girlfriend or travel companion to gain entry to their residences. Once inside, she is accused of stealing cash, gold, high-end designer items and credit cards. The charges include two counts each of first-degree residential burglary, grand theft and unauthorized use of personal identifying information, with one burglary count specifying a person was present during the incident.
