Investigation Underway for OnlyFans Model Involved in Burglary Scheme
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD) is actively searching for Adva Lavie, an Israeli national known for her work as an OnlyFans model and former "Penthouse Pet." Lavie is suspected of a series of residential burglaries around Los Angeles County, targeting affluent older men, adult stars, and podcasters. Authorities allege that she used dating apps and social media platforms to foster relationships and gain access to the homes or hotel rooms of her victims.
Method of Operation and Key Incidents
Lavie reportedly used luxury cars and a charismatic personality to build trust with her targets, many of whom live in exclusive areas. She is accused of stealing items including jewelry, credit cards, and cash once gaining access. Among her confirmed victims are adult film performers such as Eden Lynn, who experienced unauthorized charges under the alias "Mia Ventura." Lynn traced these charges back to a salon and stylist, which linked Lavie to the fraudulent activities. Another adult actor, Codey Steele, reported that Lavie also committed thefts in France, suggesting her criminal activities span internationally.
Lavie's Background and Public Appeal
Adva Lavie's involvement in the adult entertainment industry is noted, with recent features including joining HoneyDrip.com in 2022 and recognition as Penthouse's 'Pet of the Month' in July 2023. In statements made during her tenure with HoneyDrip, Lavie identified herself as a creative artist aiming for empowerment and freedom. Detectives Lopez and Marsh from the LASD's Malibu/Lost Hills Station are leading the investigation, appealing to the public for assistance in locating Lavie and identifying further victims.
- Anyone with relevant information is urged to contact Detective Lopez at (818) 878-1808 or Detective Marsh at (818) 374-9500.
The case underscores the growing complexities of crimes facilitated through social media and illustrates the lengths to which individuals may go to exploit personal trust. As the search for Lavie continues, the LASD is working to gather more leads in a high-stakes investigation that has captured both public and media attention.
