Actor Nick Pasqual has been sentenced to 32 years to life in prison for the attempted murder of his estranged girlfriend, makeup artist Allie Shehorn. The sentencing took place in Los Angeles on Wednesday, June 3, 2026.
Brutal Attack and Aftermath
In May 2024, Pasqual broke into Shehorn's home in Sunland, California, and stabbed her more than 20 times. Shehorn survived the brutal assault but required extensive surgeries. During the court proceedings, she delivered a powerful victim impact statement, describing the terror and pain she endured.
Prior Abuse and Restraining Order
Authorities revealed that there had been several reports of abuse prior to the attack. Shehorn had filed a restraining order against Pasqual just days before the incident. The judge expressed doubts about Pasqual's remorse, citing a recorded phone call in which he allegedly mocked Shehorn's ordeal.
- Pasqual was known for his role in the TV series How I Met Your Mother.
- He fled the state after the attack but was later apprehended.
- Shehorn's GoFundMe campaign helped cover her medical expenses.
The case highlights the severity of domestic violence and the legal consequences for perpetrators. Pasqual will serve at least 32 years before being eligible for parole.
