Overview
- A San Fernando court on June 2 sentenced Nick Pasqual to 32 years to life for his May 2024 attack on his ex-partner.
- A jury found Pasqual guilty on May 8 of attempted murder, burglary of a dwelling, rape and related domestic-violence enhancements involving a knife.
- Prosecutors say Pasqual broke into Allie Shehorn’s Sunland home and stabbed her more than 20 times; she survived emergency surgery and reports lasting physical and emotional injuries.
- Pasqual fled after the attack and was arrested at a U.S. border checkpoint in Texas, and his lawyers have said he is ‘deeply saddened,’ will focus on sobriety and will appeal the conviction.
- Shehorn has filed a civil lawsuit seeking damages, and earlier court records show Pasqual had recently been released on $50,000 bail while Shehorn had sought a restraining order describing prior sexual and physical assaults.
