Israeli OnlyFans model Adva Lavi denied bail in Los Angeles after removing ankle monitor
The hearing followed Lavi's third arrest in just a few months. On Tuesday evening, she was arrested by Beverly Hills police as she left the upscale Azul restaurant near Rodeo Drive.
Israeli OnlyFans model Adva Lavi, 29, also known as Mia Ventura, has been denied bail in Los Angeles after a judge determined she posed a flight risk due to multiple violations of her release conditions. This decision followed her third arrest in a few months, stemming from a series of thefts and burglaries attributed to her. On Tuesday, Lavi was apprehended by Beverly Hills police near Rodeo Drive after a warrant was issued by Indio police in Riverside County for her arrest.
Allegedly, in April 2025, during the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, Lavi stole luxury items valued over $11,000, including a Rolex watch, Louis Vuitton sunglasses, and a French brand card holder. Security cameras and a victim's Tesla camera captured some of the alleged thefts, leading to her arrest. Her legal issues escalated further when it was discovered she had stopped wearing the ankle monitor required under her release conditions, resulting in an additional charge of violating a court order.
Lavi's troubles began in October 2025, when the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department sought public assistance to locate her, linked to a series of burglaries and thefts involving wealthy men she met via dating apps. Between 2023 and 2025, prosecutors charged her with theft, residential burglary, and unlawful use of personal information, which she pleaded not guilty to.
Since her initial release on bail with conditions of wearing an electronic monitoring device and remaining within Los Angeles County, she has repeatedly violated these conditions, leading to multiple arrests. In June, she was arrested twice for allegedly leaving Los Angeles County while visiting Malibu, a neighboring county. Despite this, judges opted for warnings rather than re-arrest.
The case has garnered media attention due to Lavi's relationship with 64-year-old Jewish billionaire Steven Cloobeck, a former gubernatorial candidate, who was arrested in May for allegedly attempting to influence witnesses in her case. Cloobeck, reportedly funding her defense, ended their engagement and financial support following her latest arrest.
At Friday's hearing, the judge stated that no conditions could ensure Lavi's attendance at trial, noting her desire to set her own terms. Currently, Lavi, dressed in a blue prison uniform and brought into the courtroom in handcuffs, is being held in Los Angeles County Jail while awaiting further proceedings in both cases, facing serious felony charges with potential prison sentences of 10 years or more.
