The entertainer has also denied impeding the woman’s normal breathing or circulation by applying pressure to her neck.

He is now facing two additional counts of sexual penetration without consent, although no plea has been entered.

The additional charges were briefly mentioned in court but not explained and his lawyer declined to discuss the change outside court.
