Defence lawyer Fergus Steedman said he needed further time to review the case and was unaware of the third charge that had only been laid today.
An application for bail was withdrawn.
The five-year-old girl, who cannot be named, was snatched off Shamrock Street as she walked to school with her siblings at about 8.30am.
Police immediately launched an extensive search for the girl, including aerial support.
The victim was dropped off about two-and-a-half hours after she went missing on the other side of town near Hind Place.
Resident Bill Gilliland said he found the girl distressed and took her to a neighbours who phoned police.
The man was eventually arrested a week later in Rotorua.
Judge Gregory Ross remanded Mr Henson in custody to reappear on March 24.
