'How I Met Your Mother' Star Convicted Of Attempted Murder

SAN FERNANDO, CA — An actor who appeared in "How I Met Your Mother" and other TV shows was found guilty of attempted murder in the 2024 stabbing of a Hollywood makeup artist, whom he was dating, according to court records obtained Sunday.

Nick Pasqual, 36, was also found guilty Friday 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 at sentencing on June 2 in the San Fernando Courthouse.

Pasqual's ex-girlfriend, Allie Shehorn, testified against him last week, 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.
