Actor Nick Pasqual ― who appeared on “How I Met Your Mother” and other television series ― was sentenced to prison Tuesday for the stabbing of his ex-girlfriend, makeup artist Allie Shehorn. Pasqual, 36, received a sentence of 32 years to life after being found guilty of attempted murder; first-degree residential burglary with person present; and injuring a spouse, cohabitant, fiancé, boyfriend, girlfriend or child’s parent, according to ABC7 Los Angeles. Prosecutors said the actor broke into Shehorn’s home in the Shadow Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles shortly before 4:30 a.m. on May 23, 2024, and proceeded to stab her more than 20 times. Pasqual and Shehorn began dating shortly after being introduced on the set of Zack Snyder’s 2023 film “Rebel Moon ― Part One: A Child of Fire,” per People.

Although a judge had approved Shehorn’s order, it’s unclear if Pasqual had been served at the time of the incident. “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,” she said in her victim impact statement Tuesday, according to ABC7. “I was terrified, I was in pain.”Addressing Pasqual directly, she added: “You, who I had once trusted, decided my life was something that you could take away.”Pasqual immediately fled California after the attack and was ultimately detained by authorities at a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint in Sierra Blanca, Texas. Shehorn was hospitalized in intensive care and underwent 14 hours of surgery for injuries to her throat, back, chest and wrists. In a statement issued to USA Today and other outlets, Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman praised Shehorn for her courage in appearing “before her abuser in court to testify about the brutality she endured.” Shehorn worked as a makeup artist on "Obsession," and appeared on the red carpet at a Los Angeles screening for the film in May.

Her other recent credits include the 2024 musical adaptation of “Mean Girls,” starring Reneé Rapp and Angourie Rice.
