Allie Shehorn filed a civil lawsuit in California on June 1, 2026, accusing actor Nick Pasqual of sexual battery, gender violence, assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligence. The complaint says the case belongs in California Superior Court and seeks compensatory and punitive damages.

Shehorn’s filing lands just weeks after Pasqual was convicted in Los Angeles County on May 8, 2026, following a jury trial. He was found guilty of attempted murder, forcible rape, first-degree residential burglary with a person present and multiple domestic violence-related charges, and he is now awaiting sentencing on a case that could bring a sentence of 32 years to life in state prison.

For Shehorn, the lawsuit is about more than adding another filing to an already crowded court calendar. She said coming forward had been one of the most difficult decisions of her life, and the complaint describes severe physical injuries and lasting trauma from what it calls escalating abuse and a violent assault and stabbing that nearly took her life. Civil litigation is now moving alongside the criminal case already covered in the Los Angeles County verdict reported in the guilty finding in the violent attack case.

That overlap matters because Pasqual has already been convicted on serious charges, yet Shehorn is still asking a civil court to decide what accountability and financial damages should follow. The criminal case can determine punishment, but the civil case is where she is pursuing compensation and punitive damages for what she says she endured.

Her public remarks point to why she chose to proceed now: “No one should ever have to endure the violence I experienced,” she said, adding that speaking out was one of the hardest choices of her life and that survivors deserve support, safety and a chance to heal without fear or shame. The civil case will continue in California Superior Court while Pasqual waits for sentencing, and the unresolved question is how far the court will go in translating a criminal conviction into a civil award for the harm Shehorn says she suffered.
