The sentence was handed down on Tuesday, June 2, weeks after a jury found Pasqual guilty in connection with a violent attack that occurred in May 2024.

According to prosecutors, Pasqual broke into Shehorn’s home in Sunland during the early hours of the morning and attacked her with a knife before fleeing the scene toward the U.S.-Mexico border. Authorities said Shehorn sustained multiple stab wounds and was rushed to hospital, where she underwent emergency surgery and extensive medical treatment.

She survived the attack but has said she continues to suffer from permanent injuries, emotional trauma and significant medical expenses. Pasqual was later arrested and charged. Following a trial, a jury found him guilty of attempted murder, residential burglary and other offences related to the attack.

In addition to the criminal case, Shehorn has filed a civil lawsuit against Pasqual. The lawsuit alleges s3xual battery, gender-based violence, assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligence, and seeks both compensatory and punitive damages.
