Victor Lee Ilog, 50, a former psychiatric nurse practitioner in El Paso who surrendered his nursing license last year, was taken into custody on Wednesday, July 8, after sheriff’s deputies served two outstanding felony warrants. He was booked into the El Paso County Downtown Detention Facility, where he is being held on a $100,000 bond.
Arrest and Charges
According to the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office, deputies arrested Ilog at about 3 p.m. after investigators secured two felony warrants charging him with two counts of sexual assault. The warrants stem from a review of allegations that had already been reported to state regulators. Jail records list his bond at $100,000 and show he remains in custody, as reported by KFOX14/CBS4.
Board Findings and Allegations
The Texas Board of Nursing ordered Ilog’s license suspended in October 2025, and its public records indicate he voluntarily surrendered both his RN and APRN licenses on Sept. 24, 2025. The disciplinary notice states that surrender to complaints lodged while he was working as an advanced-practice psychiatric nurse in the El Paso area. The Board’s order outlines limits on any future nursing practice and sets terms for potential reinstatement, according to the Texas Board of Nursing.
Allegations Described by Investigators
Documents summarized in prior coverage state that the accusations cover a period from roughly 2021 through 2025, during which Ilog was working with Atlantis Behavioral Health Services and contracting on telehealth platforms. Those accounts allege he entered into sexual relationships with patients, steered therapy sessions toward sexual topics during a patient’s manic episodes, displayed a nude photograph, and encouraged one patient to use MDMA (ecstasy) for sexual purposes. Detectives also interviewed at least one patient who reported sexual comments, exposure, and assaults during clinical visits, as detailed by KFOX14/CBS4.
What Happens Next
The Board’s disciplinary action operates on a separate track from any criminal case. By agreeing to surrender his licenses, Ilog restricted his ability to practice nursing while law enforcement and prosecutors handle the criminal side, as outlined by the Texas Board of Nursing. Any effort to regain professional credentials would move through the Board’s administrative process, even as county courts address the criminal charges. Authorities say the investigation is ongoing and that additional court proceedings may follow.
