Yes I have, and she already acknowledged her guilt.
From the article:
Balogh said she doesn't plan to contest the charge because "I know I'm guilty."
BTW the correct spelling is "mens rea" which means a guilty mind or intent of guilt.
It was actually cited by the Supreme Court back in the 70's when they ruled that "ignorance of the law" actually is an excuse.
