A formerHow I Met Your Motheractor is facing the possibility of spending the rest of his life behind bars.
Nick Pasqual, who appeared in a 2011 episode of the hit CBSsitcom, was sentenced Tuesday, June 2, to 32 years to life in prison following his conviction in the attempted murder of his ex-girlfriend, Hollywood makeup artist Allie Shehorn.
The sentencing comes more than two years after a brutal attack that prosecutors say took place at Shehorn’s Sunland, California home in May 2024. According to authorities, Pasqual broke into the residence during the early morning hours and stabbed Shehorn more than 20 times before fleeing toward the U.S.-Mexico border.
Shehorn survived the attack after undergoing emergency surgery and extensive medical treatment, but the physical and emotional impact remains. “When I was lying on the floor in a pool of my own blood, I remembered wondering if this was how my life was going to end,” Shehorn testified during the trial, per ABC 7 Eyewitness News. “I was terrified; I was in pain.”
The makeup artist had previously obtained a restraining order against Pasqual and testified that the relationship had become abusive before she ended it.
Jurors ultimately found Pasqual guilty of attempted murder, first-degree residential burglary, and additional charges related to the attack. During Tuesday’s sentencing hearing, Shehorn directly addressed her former boyfriend: “You, who I had once trusted, decided my life was something that you could take away.”
Per the outlet, Pasqual also addressed the court, stating, “Allie did not deserve to almost have her life taken from her. No amount of words can form an adequate apology for what she had to endure.”

However, the judge questioned the sincerity of that remorse, referencing a recorded phone call made just weeks ago in which Pasqual allegedly mocked Shehorn.
Pasqual, whose acting credits include a small role as architecture student Will in a Season 7 episode of How I Met Your Mother, is also facing a civil lawsuit filed by Shehorn. The suit alleges sexual battery, gender violence, assault, battery, negligence, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
