A Jeffrey Epstein survivor has spoken about how an excerpt from her high school yearbook reveals the emotional turmoil she was going through at the time.

Ashley Rubright was introduced to Epstein when she was aged 15.

She decided to speak out for the first time after explaining that fellow survivors - who she calls her 'soul sisters' - are speaking to Congress this week.

GOP Rep Thomas Massie and Democrat Ro Khanna are collecting signatures for a bill that would require the Trump team to hand over all Epstein material.

They are set to hold a press conference with Epstein survivors, many of whom have never spoken out publicly.

“This press conference is going to be explosive. It’s the first time that a lot of these victims are speaking out publicly,” Khanna told CNN.

Speaking for the first time publicly to CNN this week, Rubright explained there was a clear difference in her high school yearbook the year before she met Epstein, compared to the year after.

“Everybody that signed my yearbooks... was like ‘Have a great summer!’ ‘Let’s chill,’ ‘It was great hanging out with you this year,’” Rubright said, explaining that all the comments in the book prior to meeting Epstein were 'all positive'.

But after meeting the convicted paedophile, Rubright explained there was a noticeable difference in the comments her friends made at the end of the school year.

Rubright recalled: “The next yearbook that came out... all the comments were different: ‘I’m really worried about you,’ ‘Don’t do anything stupid this summer.’”

Rubright said she only realised the impact it had on her after she moved out of her parents' home at the age of 17.

“I was like, ‘Wow, that really did impact me back then'," she added.

While a number of documents from the Department of Justice were recently released, Democrats argue they contain little new information.

The US House Oversight Committee released 33,295 pages of the heavily classified documents, including flight logs, jail surveillance video, court filings, audio recordings, and emails.

But it fell short at revealing the disgraced financier's alleged 'client list' - which conspiracy theorists believe the socialite kept a diary of people involved in his sex trafficking. The FBI has insisted no client list exists.

Oversight Committee Chair Republican James Comer has said the Department of Justice has informed him of its plans to continue to release additional records.

"This is the most thorough investigation into Epstein and Maxwell to date, and we are getting results," he said. "We have already deposed former Attorney General Bill Barr, the Department of Justice provided nearly 34,000 pages of documents, and will produce more, which are being made public as we speak."
