He was arrested April 27 and charged with sexually exploiting a child on allegations that he abused the youngster in February of 2019.
If convicted of the latest charge, Kain faces 25 to 50 years in prison and a fine of $250,000.
Kaine is being held by federal officials pending further proceedings.
