To me that says that sin existed in the world before the first law which was when God told Adam not to eat the fruit. The order to eat the fruit was the beginning of the law. So If sin existed before the law then Adam would have lived in a world of sin but not been held liable for it if he hadnt broken the first law.
So if thats the case then God could accept sin in mans life as long as he was ignorant of it.

Well, first, God couldn't be ignorant of sin, since he's omniscient.
In any case, the law spoken of in this verse is pretty clearly the law of Moses, the Torah, since Paul explicitly states that even though sin was not imputed until Moses, death still reigned.
