A Nevada judge has delivered a sentence to Maison Des Champs, known as the self-proclaimed “pro-life Spiderman,” following his daring ascent of the Las Vegas Sphere. The court has imposed a 45-day jail term, alongside a suspended sentence and probation, for the stunt that reportedly led to significant financial damages.
On Monday, Des Champs, 26, received a 364-day jail sentence, with all but 45 days suspended. He also faces a year of probation after admitting guilt to a gross misdemeanor charge for acting with reckless disregard for the safety of individuals or property, as detailed in court documents.
Currently behind bars, Des Champs is anticipated to be released around June 4, 2026, according to jail records. Additionally, the court has mandated that he pay $77,270.32 in restitution to the Sphere Entertainment Company.
The Las Vegas Sphere, which had its grand opening adorned with lights on September 29, 2023, incurred damages estimated at around $100,000 from the February 2024 incident, according to reports from local news outlet FOX5 Vegas.

The Sphere sustained about $100,000 in damage during the February 2024 stunt, according to local outlet FOX5 Vegas.
Des Champs climbed the exterior of the 366-foot Las Vegas landmark on Feb. 7, 2024, livestreaming the stunt as part of a fundraising effort tied to his anti-abortion activism, according to reports.
The climber said the effort was intended to support a pregnant woman he identified as “Isabel,” according to a fundraiser he launched through the nonprofit Let Them Live.
“Our mission is twofold: to offer Isabel the tangible support she desperately needs and to rally a community around her,” Des Champs wrote on the fundraising page.

The fundraiser ultimately raised more than $47,000, according to the page, which described the woman as homeless and facing an abortion scheduled days after the climb.
Des Champs has carried out similar high-profile climbs in recent years, often tying the stunts to fundraising efforts for expectant mothers. In 2023, he scaled the 40-story Chase Tower in Phoenix to raise money for a pregnant woman in need, telling Fox News at the time he wanted to show “how to have faith over fear.”

He also climbed a 42-story skyscraper in Chicago later that year, livestreaming the stunt as part of a campaign to raise money for another expectant mother, according to prior Fox News reporting.
Des Champs pleaded guilty in October 2025 in connection with the Las Vegas incident, court records show.
The case was closed following his sentencing on April 20.
