Nick Pasqual Sentenced to 32 Years for Attempted Murder of Ex-Girlfriend

Nick Pasqual's Sentencing for Violent Attack

On Tuesday, actor Nick Pasqual received a sentence ranging from 32 years to life in prison for the attempted murder of his ex-girlfriend, Allie Shehorn, a Hollywood makeup artist. This incident occurred in 2024 at her residence in Sunland. Pasqual, known for his role in the television series How I Met Your Mother, was found guilty last month on several charges, including attempted murder, first-degree residential burglary while a person was present, and offenses related to domestic violence.

During the trial, prosecutors detailed how Pasqual forcibly entered Shehorn's home in May 2024 after their breakup, leading to a brutal attack that left her with severe injuries. Shehorn, who appeared in court with noticeable scars on her neck and arm, testified about the abusive nature of their relationship and revealed that she had previously secured a restraining order against him.

In her poignant testimony, Shehorn recounted a prior incident where she had to lock herself in a room during a heated argument, only for Pasqual to break through the door as she tried to flee. Prosecutors emphasized that the violent attack occurred after their separation. Following the assault, law enforcement initiated a manhunt for Pasqual, who was ultimately captured at a Texas border checkpoint.

This case has garnered significant media attention, particularly within Hollywood and among advocates for domestic violence awareness, with many commending Shehorn for bravely sharing her story during the trial.
