Core Event: Re-Arrest After Alleged Ankle-Monitor Violation
Los Angeles influencer and model Adva Lavie—also known as Mia Ventura, Shoshana and Shana—was taken into custody by Beverly Hills police on a new felony theft warrant after officers found she was not wearing the court-ordered GPS ankle monitor required while awaiting trial on six felony charges. The violation prompted a misdemeanor charge and a judge ordered her held without bail. A bail-review hearing is set for Friday in Van Nuys.
Background & Context: Earlier Charges and Ties to Stephen Cloobeck
Prosecutors allege that from 2023 through 2025 Lavie used dating apps and “sugar-dad” sites to gain access to homes and steal cash, credit cards, gold and designer items in Westlake Village, West Hollywood, Los Angeles and Beverly Bays. In March a judge ordered her to stand trial on six felonies—two grand theft, two residential burglary and two counts of unauthorized use of personal identifying information. She pleaded not guilty and was released on bail with an ankle monitor.
Lavie’s relationship with billionaire entrepreneur Stephen Cloobeck, a former California gubernatorial candidate, added another layer to the case. In May Cloobeck turned himself in on a separate felony warrant accusing him of attempting to dissuade witnesses from testifying against Lavie.
