Re: i need some advice
Your question does not contain enough information to give you a definite answer on those questions. The police only have to read your Miranda rights if you are under arrest and being interrogated - and the results of those questions are what the arrest is based upon. Here we do not know what the extent of your questioning was - and whether it was used as the basis for the arrest.
As for having sex with the cop - it depends on when and under what circumstances - Certainly if it occurred after the arrest it is inappropriate - but may not help your case. He/she may face departmental charges - but you may still be charged as well. If it occurred before the arrest then it would depend on the type of relationship and whether anything he learned led to the arrest.
The charge that you were arrested for would also be an important piece of additional information.
