"Reading in a mens rea" I understand that

General intent crime=morally blameworthy state of mind only(?)

Strict liability= no mens rea at all

But then there's this issue where a court will "read in" a mens rea if certain factors are met, including:

1.Statutory crime not derived from common law
2.Legislative policy that a mens rea would undermine
3. Standard is reasonable and adherence is expected
4. Penalty is small
5. Conviction does not gravely besmirch

Does "reading in" a mens rea mean the court interprets it as a strict liability crime? How does that make sense?

Thanks in advance for the help
