Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman detailed the prosecution's strategy when initial charges were brought against her.
"At her trial, we will prove beyond a reasonable doubt that this defendant exploited trust built through online relationships to gain access to victims' homes and steal from them," Hochman said.
Investigators stated that Lavie frequented victims' homes under the guise of being a girlfriend or travel companion.
District Attorney Hochman emphasized the end of her alleged schemes during his initial public announcement.
"Her ability to deceptively influence others, whether in person or online, has now come to an end," Hochman said.
The ongoing legal troubles have extended to Lavie's personal circle, as her fiancé, billionaire entrepreneur Stephen Cloobeck, was arrested in May on felony charges for allegedly trying to dissuade victims from testifying against her.

Lavie faces up to 11 years and eight months in state prison if convicted on all counts in the Los Angeles case.
