Police allege the man, from Raymond Terrace, north of Newcastle, groomed the girl via emails, SMS and a social networking site.
The computer items were seized after a search of the man's home. He was arrested at his workplace yesterday.
He was charged with three offences relating to child grooming, inciting an act of indecency and committing an act of indecency.
The man was refused bail to appear at Maitland Local Court today.
