VAN NUYS (CNS) - Billionaire and former gubernatorial candidate Stephen Cloobeck pleaded not guilty today to charges that he tried to dissuade people from testifying in a criminal case against his then-fiancée, a model and social media personality. He was also charged with a misdemeanor count of annoying telephone calls -- allegedly directed at the attorney of one of the alleged victims in his fiancée's case. The victims named in the criminal complaint against Cloobeck are all alleged victims in the case of his former fiancée, Adva Lavie. Cloobeck remains free on $300,000 bond posted within hours of his arrest May 12 by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. Cloobeck and Lavie had publicly announced plans to get married in Jerusalem, but Lavie was subsequently barred from leaving the state due to her pending criminal case.
