An actor who appeared in “How I Met Your Mother” and other TV shows is set to be sentenced Tuesday for the 2024 attempted murder of a Hollywood makeup artist, whom he was dating.
Nick Pasqual, 36, was also found guilty last month by a jury of forcible rape, first-degree burglary, injuring a spouse or partner, and special allegations that he inflicted great bodily injury on the victim under circumstances involving domestic violence and that he personally used a knife during the crime, according to the District Attorney’s Office.
He could face a maximum penalty of life in state prison Tuesday at sentencing in the San Fernando Courthouse.
Pasqual’s ex-girlfriend, Allie Shehorn, testified against him during the trial, according to media reports.
Authorities said Pasqual broke into Shehorn’s Sunland home about 4:30 a.m. on May 23, 2024, and stabbed her multiple times, then fled before being detained at a border checkpoint in Texas.
Following the attack, Shehorn reportedly underwent emergency surgery and spent days in intensive care.
