Actor Nick Pasqual, who once appeared on ‘How I Met Your Mother,’ was sentenced on June 2 to 32 years to life in prison for the attempted murder of his ex-girlfriend, Hollywood makeup artist Allie Shehorn. Prosecutors said Pasqual broke into her Los Angeles home in May 2024 and stabbed her more than 20 times, in an attack linked to domestic violence.
Shehorn survived the assault and later testified in court with visible scars. She had previously filed for a restraining order against Pasqual, accusing him of abuse. According to reports, the actor had been released on US$50,000 bail just five days before the stabbing took place.
Pasqual was convicted of attempted murder, burglary, and domestic violence-related charges.
