‘Pro-life Spiderman’ arrested after Vegas climb to raise money for pregnant homeless woman

Pro-life activist Maison Des Champs, who goes by the moniker “Pro-life Spiderman,” has taken to the heights once again, scaling the Sphere in Las Vegas in an effort to raise money for a homeless pregnant woman. Des Champs was arrested by the Las Vegas police shortly after his climb.

In a video posted to social media, Des Champs said he was working in conjunction with the organization Let Them Live to raise money for a pregnant woman named Isabel. Des Champs further explained Isabel’s situation in a post on the Let The Live website.

“At 37, with a life story that’s anything but straightforward, Isabel finds herself at a crossroads. Having had to make the heart-wrenching decision to adopt out three of her children, and with twins living with her ex-husband, she’s now facing the prospect of bringing a new life into this world under the most challenging circumstances imaginable,” he wrote. “Homeless, jobless, and with the fear of maternal and infant health risks looming large, she’s scheduled an 11-week abortion for February 10th, believing it to be her only option amidst the chaos.”

Des Champs said he was raising money to support Isabel with housing, employment guidance, baby items, and prenatal care so that she would not feel that abortion was her only option. As of February 9, he had exceeded his goal of $25,000.

Shortly after his climb, Des Champs was arrested. “The individual has been taken into custody without further incident,” the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department posted on X, formerly Twitter.

Des Champs has made a number of other notable climbs throughout the country in an effort to raise money and awareness for pregnant mothers and their preborn children, including the Accenture Tower in Chicago, Salesforce Tower in San Francisco, and the tallest tower in Phoenix. His climbs have usually ended in arrests.

According to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police X page, Des Champs was charged with Destroying Property of Another Greater than $5000 and Conspiracy to Destroy Private Property. Media reports indicate that the climb caused more than $100k in damage to the structure.
