Overview
- A jury convicted Pasqual last month of attempted murder, forcible rape, first-degree residential burglary and related domestic-violence counts for an attack on his then-estranged girlfriend in May 2024.
- Pasqual was sentenced Tuesday, June 2, 2026; outlets report the term as 32 years to life while others describe the punishment as life in prison.
- The victim, Allie Shehorn, testified in court with visible scars and said she was stabbed more than 20 times, suffered multiple neck slashes, underwent several surgeries and spent nearly a week in the intensive care unit.
- After the May 2024 attack Pasqual fled California and was detained at a U.S. border checkpoint in Sierra Blanca, Texas, on May 30, 2024 before being returned to Los Angeles for prosecution.
- The case has focused attention on limits of restraining orders because Shehorn had obtained protection before the attack and prosecutors presented prior incidents of abuse during the trial.
