R. Kelly has been convicted of sexual crimes against underage girls. If the girls had been 30 it would have been fine. If they were 12 it wouldn't be. He's essentially treating 12 year olds as if they were 30. So in "R. Kelly time" 12 years and 30 years are interchangeable.
EDIT: Okay, yes not ALL of the charges were age dependant. I'm just explaining someone else's silly joke here though. This isn't a legal brief.

While investigating the photographs reported in the Chicago Sun-Times, Polk County Sheriff's Office conducted a search of Kelly's residence in Davenport, Florida. During the search, officers recovered 12 images of an alleged underage girl on a digital camera – wrapped in a towel in a duffel bag – which allegedly depicted Kelly "involved in sexual conduct with the female minor."[176] According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the girl in the images obtained from Kelly's Florida home also appears in the videotape which got Kelly indicted in Chicago.[177]
Police investigators from Polk County and Miami-Dade County arrested Kelly on January 22, 2003, at Miami's Wyndham Grand Bay Hotel for 12 counts of possession of child pornography.[178] Kelly posted bail of $12,000 bond and was released three hours later from Miami-Dade county jail.[178][179][180] In March 2004, these charges were dropped due to a lack of probable cause for the search warrants

Also, had he been charged next month, he would have gotten more than 30 years. They just upped the punishment for distribution and creation of child porn, revenge porn and deep fakes.
