By Luc Cohen NEW YORK (Reuters) -Sean 'Diddy' Combs pleaded not guilty on Friday to a new indictment, which added accusations that the hip-hop mogul forced employees to work long hours and threatened to punish those who did not assist in a two-decade sex trafficking scheme.

The afternoon’s proceeding wrapped in a little less than an hour and, aside from the not-guilty plea, was largely confined to housekeeping matters.
