Assemblyman William F. Boyland Jr., a Brooklyn Democrat who was indicted on charges of soliciting and accepting thousands of dollars in bribes from undercover federal agents, pleaded not guilty on Wednesday before a federal judge in Brooklyn.

Mr. Boyland’s chief of staff, Ry-Ann Hermon, who was also indicted in connection with the alleged bribery schemes, also pleaded not guilty.

Prosecutors accused Mr. Boyland and Ms. Hermon of soliciting and accepting a stream of bribes beginning in August 2010 from a carnival promoter who had known Mr. Boyland for years — and who was cooperating with the government — and two undercover agents posing as eager businessmen. In exchange, Mr. Boyland agreed to take official actions to secure business opportunities for the men, according to the indictment.
