Not necessarily. People can conspire to submit multiple accusations to the tool against the same person.
Even without actual conspiracy, someone who is a target for other reasons could have multiple false accusations independently levied against them.
Example: I have a friend who runs a religious ministry for ex-members-of-another-religion. This draws the ire of current-members-of-the-other-religion, and leads to a lot of things they post being flagged as abusive (even things like photographs of themselves.) In some cases, it's clear that there's a group conspiring -- something posted years ago will get flagged multiple times over the course of a day (FB once investigated and located a private group that was being used to coordinate mass-flagging efforts.) In other cases, it's just the most recent thing they posted, likely being independently flagged.
