The answer is: Statutory rape.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Robbery: Robbery is not a strict liability offense. It requires the prosecution to prove that the defendant had the intent to steal and used force or intimidation to do so. Intent is a key element, which means it is not strict liability.

  2. Murder: Murder is also not a strict liability offense. It requires proving that the defendant had the intent to kill or cause serious harm, or acted with reckless disregard for human life. The mental state of the defendant is crucial in murder cases.

  3. Burglary: Burglary is not a strict liability offense either. It involves entering a building unlawfully with the intent to commit a crime inside. The intent to commit a crime is a necessary element, which means it is not strict liability.

  4. Statutory rape: Statutory rape is a strict liability offense. This means that the prosecution does not need to prove that the defendant had any specific intent or knowledge regarding the age of the victim. The mere fact that the act occurred with a person below the age of consent is sufficient for liability, regardless of whether the defendant knew the victim's age or not.
