“One commits the offense of violating an order of protection if: (1) he or she commits an act that was prohibited by a trial court in a valid order of protection entered pursuant to the provisions of the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986 [¶]... ] and (2) such act occurs after the offender has been served notice of the contents of the order or otherwise has acquired knowledge of the contents of the order. The offense of violating an order of protection is not a strict liability offense, and the State is required to prove both actus reus, a guilty act, and mens rea, a guilty mind.”
