Actor Nick Pasqual, who participated in the popular CBS series “How I Met Your Mother” and was previously accused of attempted murder after stabbing his ex-girlfriend multiple times, was sentenced to 32 years in prison this Tuesday.

During the sentencing hearing, the 36-year-old actor received the verdict that will see him remain in prison for more than three decades. This just one month after being found guilty of several serious crimes against makeup artist Allie Shehorn, including: attempted murder, robbery and domestic violence.

According to the Los Angeles Prosecutor's Office, Pasqual broke into Shehorn's home on May 23, 2024 and stabbed her repeatedly. In addition to presenting evidence, ABC News reported that the victim appeared in court with visible scars on his arm and neck, the result of the attack that the actor committed.

In her testimony, the 37-year-old makeup artist stated that the attack took place shortly after she requested a restraining order due to Nick's violent behavior during their time as a couple.

Despite the victim's call for help, Pasqual fled the scene after the brutal attack, but was soon located at a border checkpoint between the United States and Mexico, in the town of Sierra Blanca, Texas.

Once the sentence was issued, Nick Pasqual shared a few words in which he spoke about the impact of his actions. In the speech, he indicated that “I will carry that fact for the rest of my life.” In this sense, he expressed his gratitude for the fact that Allie Shehorn has survived the attack.

Actor Nick Pasqual was part of an episode of the seventh season of “How I Met Your Mother.” In this production he gave life to the character of “Will”, an architecture student who attends a tour guided by Ted Mosby.
