Diddy made another court appearance this week. The mogul has pleaded not guilty to two superseding indictments.

As per Vulture, Diddy appeared in federal court Friday (March 14) to hear some updates regarding his sex trafficking case. Additionally, he was formally accused of added charges related to his business practices. Prosecutors allege that he threatened employees with bodily harm if they did not assist in facilitating his supposed trafficking schemes.

They also say his employees would be subjected to hostile work conditions, including very long hours, which afforded them very little sleep. Even more damning are two victims that claim that they were forced to participate in the sex acts. “Victim 2” and “Victim 3” add that “on one occasion, Combs dangled a victim over an apartment balcony.” He plead not guilty to both indictments.

Diddy’s sex trafficking trial is set to start on May 5. According to CNN, his legal team has requested that jury selection commence that same day with opening statements to start May 12. He is currently being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn; the same facility where former YouTube personality Taxstone was recently charged with smuggling contraband into.
