The man did not appear in Orange Local Court on Thursday where solicitor Mason Manwaring made representations on his client's behalf.
The Department of Public Prosecutions has taken up the matter with the intention of bringing it before the District Court.
In March, police received reports the teenager had allegedly been sexually abused by a man.
The matter was referred to the State Crime Command's Child Abuse and Sex Crimes Squad, which took carriage of the investigation.
Following inquiries, investigators arrested the man at a home in the NSW Hunter Valley.
The man was taken to a police station, where he was charged with two counts of aggravated sexually touching another person.
He was granted conditional bail.
The matter has been adjourned to Orange Local Court next month.
