Mia Ventura, also known as Adva Lavie, a social media influencer, adult content creator, and former Penthouse Pet, was arrested Tuesday night in Beverly Hills on a new theft charge tied to Riverside County and an alleged court order violation. This marks her second arrest this year, following formal charges filed earlier for offenses involving theft from individuals across the Los Angeles metro area.
Recent Arrest and Charges
Ventura, 28, was arrested around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday by Beverly Hills police on North Cannon Boulevard near Brighton Way. The arrest was in connection with a separate theft allegation originating in Riverside County. Additionally, she was found to be in violation of a court order, according to the Beverly Hills Police Department. The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office stated that Lavie faces a misdemeanor violation of a court order after she allegedly removed her ankle monitor.
On Wednesday, a judge blocked Lavie’s release and ordered her to be held without bail. A bail hearing is scheduled for Friday in Van Nuys. It is currently unknown whether new charges will be filed against her at this time. Ventura was expected to appear in court on Thursday.
Previous Legal Proceedings
This recent arrest follows formal charges filed against Ventura in March 2026. She was charged with six felony counts, including two counts of unauthorized use of personal identifying information, two counts of grand theft, one count of first-degree residential burglary with a person present, and one count of first-degree residential burglary. Ventura pleaded not guilty to these charges. After her initial arrest, she was released from custody with an electronic ankle monitor, as stated by LA County prosecutors.
In March 2026, a judge found sufficient evidence to proceed to trial with these charges. Authorities allege that between 2023 and 2025, Lavie developed relationships through dating apps and "Sugar Daddy" websites, posing as a girlfriend and travel companion. She is accused of stealing cash, gold, credit cards, and designer items from the homes of wealthy individuals in Westlake Village, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and Beverly Hills. If convicted on all charges, Lavie faces up to 11 years and eight months in state prison.
