Sean 'Diddy' Combs was arraigned on new charges that expand previous allegations against him. The updated indictment includes claims he forced employees to work long hours and threatened retaliation for not participating in his alleged sex trafficking scheme. During a pretrial hearing in Manhattan, Combs, who has pleaded not guilty, appeared with a changed look. The hearing addressed jury selection and evidence submissions as the trial date approaches. Prosecutors recently filed a second superseding indictment, adding three unnamed women as alleged victims. They claim Combs subjected employees to forced labor as part of a broader criminal operation. The trial is set to begin on May 5.
