They filed a notice of appeal on Monday and are expected to submit the formal documents soon.

Combs was convicted of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and acquitted on two other charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.

Judge Arun Subramanian said that a substantial sentence was needed to send a message that abuse of women "is met with real accountability".

He also issued Combs a $500,000 (£374,000) fine and five years of probation.
