All crimes have several basic elements. First, the defendant must have committed a voluntary act ("actus reus") ... Secondly, a defendant must have a culpable intent ("mens rea"). Mens rea represents the requirement that a person possess a "culpable state of mind" to be punished for a crime ...

mens rea: a guilty mind. Although as a general rule there must be a mind at fault before there can be a crime, it is not an inflexible rule, and a statute may relate to such a subject-matter and may be so framed as to make an act criminal whether there has been an intention to break the law or otherwise do wrong or not.
