A man from the NSW city of Albury has been charged with grooming a 15-year-old girl online.

Police say the man contacted the girl through a social netowrking site last year, allegedly sending her explicit and inappropriate images and asking her to send him similar images.

On Friday detectives arrested a 43-year-old man in Albury and charged him with grooming a child for unlawful sexual activity, using a carriage service to send indecent material and producing child abuse material.

He was refused bail to appear at Albury Local Court on Saturday.
