Simon Lawson, 36, of Bobblestock has also been charged with two counts of attempting to cause or incite a 13-year-old girl to engage in sexual activity.
He was arrested in October 2016 following concerns raised by a vigilante group, The Hunted One.
Lawson entered no plea at Herefordshire Magistrates Court. He will next appear at Worcester Crown Court in April. He has been released on conditional bail.
