Austin Sigg, 18, is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on Friday in Golden, Colo. He already faces murder, kidnapping, sexual assault and robbery charges for allegedly killing Jessica in October 2012 and attacking a runner that same year.
Attorneys for the state said they're dropping two charges against Sigg but adding the exploitation charge because of a video of a child found during their investigation.
The Colorado Supreme Court overturned a judge's decision to close Friday's proceedings in which prosecutors plan to lay out their case.
Prosecutors expect the hearing to move ahead, even though a hearing earlier this month was canceled as the media challenged the decision to close it.
