If there is a period in which someone was attacked 4 times per day, every day without fail for 20 solid years; other than this being rediculous; what would a better word than 'frequently' be?
The word frequently does not seem to be enough to emphisise just how regular such attacks are?
Thesurous and dictonary is not effective enough

incessently
there are lots of good words in the other posts too.
This is what I do when I can't find the right word -- try to look up synonms for the first word you have -- then keep trying words that aren't quite it -- check their synonms -- often the right word is there -- just takes a bit of looking.

I think any of these would be excellent terms to use here:
Relentlessly (this one especially)
Unmercifully
Perpetually
Endlessly
Continuously
Spasmodically
Periodically
Repeatedly
so many adverbs...
