on multiple occasions
Hi everyone,

I read some news about a celebrity online. I wonder what this phrase means here 'on multiple occasions' which located to the end.

Swifty’s spokesperson told E! Online that the donation is intended “to help with any of her financial needs during this trying time.” On Friday, February 19, a New York Supreme Court judge ruled that Kesha cannot opt out of her contract with Dr. Luke—the producer who allegedly drugged and sexually abused her on multiple occasions.

Thank you and have a nice day :D

Answer

Multiple occasions would mean that the action happened more than once, it could be a few or many. I see it as a vague term to mean it happened more than once.  Also it implies that this happened multiple times over a span of time, or in this circumstance over the span of their relationship.

Answer

It means producer is alleged/suspected to have molested her multiple times in the past.
