Rapper Sean Combs will appear in federal court in Manhattan on Friday, March 14, to be arraigned on a superseding indictment.
According to CNN, Combs will return to court for a pretrial hearing in his human trafficking and conspiracy case.
In an amended indictment, prosecutors allege that Combs forced an employee to engage in sex acts and threatened others with physical force and financial harm if they did not help him carry out sex trafficking crimes over the last two decades.
While the amended indictment does not include additional charges, the allegations were recently expanded to include three victims.
Combs has vigorously denied all of the charges. He is in a Brooklyn jail awaiting trial that begins on May 5.
Defense attorneys for Combs have petitioned the judge for jury selection to start on May 5, with opening statements to follow on May 13. Prosecutors want jury selection to begin on April 21.
Combs’ lawyers say surveillance video of Combs beating ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in a now-shuttered hotel in California will not be allowed in as evidence.
The video is not a part of the case, and the judge is unlikely to allow it to be admitted as evidence.
Combs’ attorneys claim CNN altered and edited the only existing copy of the video before destroying it. The video was purchased by CNN last year.
Judges don’t allow altered videos into evidence in a criminal trial.
