LOS ANGELES (KABC) — A former OnlyFans model has been found competent to stand trial in Los Angeles County after being accused of allegedly burglarizing the homes of wealthy men she met through online dating apps.

Adva Lavie was not in the courtroom Friday morning when Superior Court Judge Maria Cavalluzzi announced the determination. Cavalluzzi noted that Dr. Phani Tumu found Lavie to be “presently competent,” adding that the case will return to criminal proceedings on Monday morning at the Van Nuys courthouse.
Lavie, also known as Mia Ventura, was arrested July 28.
According to a warrant, an LAPD detective wrote that on the night of Lavie’s arrest, “Beverly Hills Detective Steve Own… observed Lavie taking selfies on the patio of Azur restaurant… Own was familiar with Lavie because he himself had been investigating whether Lavie was drugging her fiancé [Stephen] Cloobeck with ketamine.”
Cloobeck, a wealthy real estate developer, briefly ran for governor of California last year. He was arrested in May and pleaded not guilty last month to witness tampering charges reportedly connected to a case against his former fiancée Lavie.
The warrant states that Lavie was later arrested and found not to be wearing her court-ordered ankle monitor.
The document also references a former friend of Lavie who, according to the warrant, “went to Cloobeck’s home for a dinner party” that Lavie attended.

After the gathering, the friend allegedly “discovered that her purse had been moved” and “her engagement ring was gone,” according to the warrant. The document further states that the friend “asked Lavie for help finding the ring and Lavie immediately became defensive” and called the friend “a drunk.”

The warrant also states that Lavie said “she no longer needed a letter” that the friend had written “recommending her for mental health diversion.”
A judge later denied Lavie’s request for mental health diversion, and she remains in custody while facing multiple felony counts of theft and burglary.
