Twenty years after Jeffrey Epstein was exposed for his child sex abuse enterprise, the Justice Department this week made a startling revelation. Rather than the “dozens” of victims previously alleged by the government and media, Justice now says that there were “over one thousand” victims.

Satan should invent a new, deeper layer of hell for this guy.

Would he even arrive in hell? To my knowledge, God (at least of the old testament) never really condemned sexual assault/rape or hurting children (the latter is even encouraged - "spare the rod, spoil the child", the binding of Isaac, etc.). A rapist could marry his victim as a "punishment" (as long as she's single, otherwise if she was another man's property, both her and the rapist should die)

Depending on the flavor of abrahamic religions, all you need to do is either believe in God or believe and do works by God. So sin isn't so much what sends people to hell, or everyone would be there. I would doubt the actions of someone like Epstein, despite populist opinions on religion, are actions rooted in a religious person.
