The 36-year-old actor was convicted for attempted murder, rape, burglary, and domestic violence offences and was sentenced on Tuesday, June 2, with 32 years to life behind bars.‌The makeup artist, who has previously worked in Babylon, Mean Girls, and Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire, had a restraining order on Pasqual because the relationship had reportedly become abusive.ABC reported that Shehorn shared her testimony in court of the terrifying ordeal and recounted locking herself in a bathroom trying to escape.

Allie Shehorn miraculously survived and courageously stood before her abuser in court to testify about the brutality she endured.
