Last month, Nick Pasqual, who appeared in a 2011 episode of How I Met Your Mother, was convicted of first-degree residential burglary and injuring a spouse or cohabitant.
On June 2, Pasqual was sentenced to 32 years to life in prison, per Los Angeles’s ABC 7.
In May 2024, Pasqual broke into the Los Angeles home of his ex-girlfriend, Hollywood makeup artist Allie Shehorn.
Prosecutors say he “inflicted great bodily injury upon the victim under circumstances involving domestic violence.” Shehorn was reportedly discovered with over 20 stab wounds.

Shehorn had previously filed for a restraining order against Pasqual for domestic violence. During the trial, she testified about a violent fight that led to their breakup shortly before the stabbing.
“I locked the door. He just started punching holes in that door and broke that open,” she recalled, per ABC 7. “I just ran into the bathroom because I thought there’s another lock on that door.”
Pasqual was arrested after the first incident but was released on a $50,000 bail just five days before he stabbed Shehorn.
A year before the attack, Shehorn won “Best SFX Makeup” at the Hollywood Blood Horror Festival for her work on Incorrigible. Her film credits also include Rebel Moon: Part One (in which Pasqual appeared) and Babylon.
After recovering from her severe injuries, Shehorn returned to the makeup industry. Her incredible work can currently be seen in the horror box office smash Obsession.
Yesterday, Shehorn shared a post on Instagram celebrating Pasqual’s sentence. It includes a video of the emotional moment she hears the sentence being passed down.
