Yes, but that can't be used as an excuse. You could even be made an accessory to a crime without knowing it. Let's say you and a friend stop at a convenient store for a soda. You stay in the car, but your friend is in the place robbing it. He gets in the car and you leave, but you have just driven the get away car. This makes you an accessory to the robbery. This is one reason why you need to be sure who you are with.

Crimes that do not include intent are referred to as "Strict Liability Crimes", although these are not the only crimes where your question may apply.
An example may be a statutory sex offense (which is determined based on age). If a 23 year old has sexual relations with a 17 year old (let's assume the age of consent is 18 in this case), the 23 year old has committed a crime. Whether the 23 year old actually knew, or had the intent, of committing a crime is irrelevant.
